Starting from scratch on tires again got sold some mismatched size and tread wear rating tires , for the front I'm really wanting to get some 205 toyo R1R's in the front. But I don't really have 700$ to get all 4 they are R compound tires rated at 140 tread-wear for the rears I was thinking something in the 240-280 tread wear ?. will I notice a difference in the 100 or so tread-wear rating amongst the same company ?.

32mm rsb in the rear& no front bar so it's meant to slip around a bit thus why I'm thinking I can get away with a 280 UTGQ in the rear maybe in a 225mm even ?

Don't do that. Stick with the same compound all around and adjust from there. My buddy went to the track with his Integra (it was an ITR...but...still) with R comps up front and RE11s in back. It was uncontrollable. Hilarious, infact.

UTQG isn't always directly related to grip.

hmmm ok i'll have to lower my standards on what I get then...how big a difference do you think is noticeable in terms of 100vs 140 ?. I don't really want to get those ventus RS3's but they are allowed in the street class and classed as a 200 UTQG, I know it doesn't always mean more/less grip but that's the main thing they class us by at CSCS. I can always max out my camber kit I guess or loosen the sway bar. last season was so simple they virtually had no rules other then the tires and gutted interiors.



if you had to suggest a tire with 205/r15 200+ UTQG what would it be ?

Dunlop Direzza Z2....hands down. Or the BFG rival if you don't need wet grip.

Either one of those will be close to the traction of a lower grip R comp like a R888. They may grease earlier....but I doubt you'll have greasing issues with a gutted integra.

I found that 225s up front and 205s in back work well.

I think rivals and RS3 are available in 225/45 for the front. Put the 205 dunlops/rivals in the back.

**I'm almost sure rivals are available in 205.

Direzza Z2 is the new version of the Dunlop starspec. These seem to be a majority favorite tire overall. I've tried other tires and come right back to these.

and I'd need a 15x8 width for 225's right ?

Ideally speaking, you'd want 7 or 7.5 at the bare minimum. I had them on 15x6.5" +30 RC-G4's. They gripped way harder than when I had 205/50 ADVAN AD08s all around. But then again, my ITR didn't have additional negative camber when I had 205's.

Either way, you can always buy a pair of 15x8 or 7.5 for the front. I kept looking for staggered size wheels to avoid the head aches of running 15x8 in the back of my street car. But I couldn't find much in that size and I was totally unwilling to buy Rotas.

ICB motorsport started carrying 15x8 TE37 SL's after I bought my RC's....but they weren't selling them by the wheel. Just in sets, IIRC.

With 225/45 on 6.5" wheels, you lose a little steering response and you lose a little bit of the tire width. But I do feel like my car was faster.

I passed a lot of other ITR's/Integras on 205 street tires and got my ITR to lap about as fast as a stock base model AP2 S2000 (with decent street tires and a pad similar to hawk HP+ garbage) at Gingerman (+/- 1 sec). For reference, that's about as fast as a stock EVO9/10 or E46 M3 would lap the same track. So....not bad considering my only engine/drive train mods were a header and 4.78FD.

Your ITR on the setup that I now own was crazy fast. That whole 6.5" wide rim and losing steering feel is just a bunch of nerds creating an argument. Like they could ever tell the difference. Also, you might lose a little bit of the width while driving in a straight line, but I can take a picture of the tires that your ITR tracked on and show you still use the whole tire.

Could you please ? I've only heard ppl say no you can't run a 225 on a 6.5 "your turn in will be destroyed" going to Tek today to price out tires.

Too bad you put that **** on backwards, n00b.

Here you go, look at the outside of that tire. That's with the aggressive camber you see in his picture too. Tire wore completely flat too, no camber wear.



lol, it got much better wet track-shon.

They look better on my car anyways.

Tight-R

They're facing the correct direction now. Damnit.

Wow. What a clean looking DB8 GSR with B18C1 engine and sunroof option. Are you the original owner? Not many of those left around.

BTW.... Is that peanut butter on the seats?

B_Swapped93

What side wall and tire as in a ventus or rval etc ?


what rims/offset 6.5 width right ?

Hugh_Jorgens

^those are 225/45/15 RS3. 15X6.5 +30 as mentioned before. But since it's an ITR/a GSR with ITR 5 lug hubs, it would be the equivalent of +25 on a regular integra.

ITR hubs stick out 5mm further. So a +30 would fit like a +25 on a regular integra.
