Super vague question. What kind of driving? Slicks, All season, summer tires??

Stretching tires is for posers and hard parkers.

Got a couple.

Hard/Spirited driving.(Summer)
-Michelin Pilot sport AS$200 per tire (2254018)
-Bridgestone RE 11$240 per tire (2254018)

I just recently got some

Bridgetstone 760 pole position (2254018)

So far great tire running these on my S14. Took them on a mountain run and damn they are responsive.
Just rained today so I haven't tested wet traction, but so far I like them alot for the price.

Jordan0332 · 10-22-2012, 04:06 PM

Just in general, most people run a tire they atleast like on their daily, sorry that was a stupid and vague question.

Tire stretching in my opinion is stupid and a bov waste of money......its also not the safest

What isn't safe about it?

Jordan0332 · 10-22-2012, 05:14 PM

I didn't mean to say bov...tire stretching on a lot of cars around here is retarded because over half of sidewall is under the rim. The sidewall is not meant to be driven on and with huge amounts of camber with stretched tires your driving on a lot of sidewall.

Your tires won't last long and I'm sure going a reasonable speed on the interstate is a good way to need a new set of tires.

!Zar! · 10-22-2012, 06:03 PM

Weird, my car must've never gotten the message.

Also, the arrow on the tire which indicates the leading edge indicates that my tire is not rolling over more so than it should be.

This is true for my 215/40 rt615k's on a 9j, as well as my 215/40's on a 595ss on a 10j.

Nice try though.

My friends must just be slacking on old ass tires, or are in desperate need of an alignment.

I want them to make a comparison with the new RT615K. Thats another tire that's been out a while but havent really heard alot of. My impression is that people are still turned off with how gooey the old RT615 would turn, after heat cycled.

For as much money you'd spend, and strictly summer tires, I'd go with Nitto NT05 for that price range. Alot better than RSRs.

They suck in all-seasons. Pure branding on tire companies part. Only get 10* lower operating temperatures. Still suck in Ice and Snow.
All-Season vs. Winter / Snow Tires
Get some BLIZZAK's if you are worried about winter driving.

AS240 · 10-23-2012, 08:53 PM

Dry: Kumho Ecsta XS
Wet: Falken 452 or Federal 595

jdsr20det · 10-23-2012, 09:09 PM

BFG g-force kdw2 awesome in hot weather (summer tire) wet or dry,

Then for winter either continental extreme contact dws or BFG G-force super sport

nujabe · 10-24-2012, 04:03 AM
