which tires i buy.

[Casey]

okie dokie. i found a few tires i like.

these are for daily for 2 front tires. cuz its all i can afford.

one of my current tires is leaking air. the other is a sucky econo tire.

i want something sticky and decent for this summer.

ill probably end up keeping my wheels for a while so 205 55 16 for the fronts.

kk i has a few ideas.

[hellfire]

Get Federall 595's. Good bang for the buck tire. Cheap.

Tyler

how much?

[~The_Duke~]

The reason why I say the BF's is that the dunlops wear out really fast and I have heard the same for the proxies.


how much?

Of those I would get the Toyo's, I had a set and liked them. Falken 512's also, they are good and cheap

[Decker]

very informative Tyler. good job!

[hellfire]

LoL.. Thanks!

Tyler

Falken I know wears out quick...

Thanks tyler... :D

245\40 17 = $79... :D lol

[J Squared]

Hmm, I had mine for quite a while and didnt notice that at all.

[~The_Duke~]

Really? I must rape tires then... lol

[BigJack]

abosuletely dont get the dunlops, i had those on my car when i got it and they were brand new. no traction when wet and if u drift with them they start to peel kinda, hard to explain, theyre really crappy

[~The_Duke~]

Ya they dont grip in the rain at all...

I didnt have any issues with peeling on them, didnt even have any feathering either and I autox'd, mountain ran, drag raced, and in general beat the hell out of them.

[Wes]

I like my Gforces on the RSX.
All around favorite tires I've ever had.
A little noisy at times, but great tires all around.

[Casey]

hmm i might get the federals. or the bf's

i love dunlops but mine suck in the rain up front now. which is why i was looking at the more sportier dunlops.

the proxes tr1 looks nice too.


sooo overall consensus = dunlops suck for wet. hmm k k

[~The_Duke~]

Kumbo SPT and the MXs are great tires to...

The SPT is the ones I am rocking on my front right now. The stick great, not so much in the rain but nothing sticks with my car in the rain.

[Wes]

My G's arent that bad in rain, I mean, I've yet to really hydroplane anywhere unless its some decent standing water.
I like them all around.

[BigJack]

id go for kumho too, thats what i have on the front but the asx's which r all season and they're great, only like 60 somethin bucks on tirerack too thats where i bought em, i should be getting them for the back too soon

[~The_Duke~]

Depends on what size lol

I dont really like the ASX, the side wall gives alil much for my liking.

[Casey]

the 205-55-16 are out of stock since last summer. i pm'd the seller.
