convince me to get other tires... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

bigOdom1 · 04-30-2007, 09:59 AM

tell me another set of tires to go with my setup
here is what i am looking at getting link in those sizes 245/35 18 and 255/40 18 (front and rear)
the reason i chose that size is because that is simply the size that came on the wheels when i bought them and i know that they will fit and also i liked the tires for the most part. They are also cheaper than most other (performance) tires in those sizes.

so if you have a suggestion as to another tire be it brand, size, etc let me know wheels are 18*9 18*10

Don't really see anything wrong with the BFs. But its up to you bro, its not my car.

koukimonster139 · 04-30-2007, 10:21 AM

fucking chains on your tires do that

b4racing · 04-30-2007, 10:27 AM

if you like it then get it.

azndoc · 04-30-2007, 01:17 PM

Ask the magic 8 ball it'll tell you what to do.

But in the case of my homie in TJ it didn't work out for him very well. Turns out it wasn't a chick, go figure.

i ran hankook ventus rs2 before, falken azenis rt615. smoother riding tire, but great road feel. much better handling, absolute crap in the rain.. suicide in the rain actually. other than that, i love them.. amazing tires for the money.

opponheimer · 04-30-2007, 05:12 PM

get 1 khumo that blows red smoke (rear left), and another that blows blue smoke (rear right), and then remove your efans/clutch fan to blow your hg...

red - white -and blue

how sweet would that be??

420sx · 04-30-2007, 08:39 PM

fucking rs2 is the biggest piece of shit ever. it grips but you run it hard and it gets flat spots and wears super fast. 10 runs and you got square tires. fuck that shit

*jspecusa* · 04-30-2007, 10:16 PM

if you like to run on wrong size tires go for it.
225/40/18 or 235/40/18 front
255/35/18 or 265/35/18 rear
that's what I would run.

hahahah fuckin comedy.. i love it

i used to have a friend who drove an old 5.0 mustang, big hunk of shit. he used to drive crazy and realllllllllly late brake, EVERY TIME. as in, EVERY time he came to a stop.. it was a panic screetching stop and as to avoid rear-ending the person in front of him. his fuckin tires were so flat spotted, that they looked like octogons.

street240 · 05-01-2007, 01:23 AM

potenza's so3's are exactly like this also. on parts of the tire it looks like a slick, on other parts it looks almost brand new.

xblack240x · 05-01-2007, 09:59 PM

the terrible one · 05-01-2007, 10:22 PM
