Re: Hey whats the widest tires

Wider is not better, stickier is better. I think you should start by giving details about your car. (year, type, drastic mods, wheel size, what it's used for, weather you drive it in.)

Re: 13"ULTRA MESH anyone hear of these?

Good times. I use to have 13" gold meshies of some sort on my '98 hatch before I rolled it and then lent it to my friend. I think they were off a stock bmw. Good times indeed. Hard to get decent 13"...

Re: Question???

Fair enough, I didn't mean what I said as a criticism, what I meant was I could not imagine any advantage to be gained.

Re: Question???

Then the answer is no.

I cannot understand why anyone would do this. You would also be running different tires which would lead to unpredictable handling at best.

Re: Yokohama Avid HS4, or Falken Ziex ZE-512?

Do you need all season tires? All season tires are meant to be used in snow and frigid cold. If you are not going to do either than you do not need an all season tire. Please answer this first.

Re: What is this sound coming from my rims/tires??

Interesting. It could be a lot of things.

Bearing: Try to grab the wheel at 12 and 6 when it's off the ground to see if there is play. Search further on this subject for more details.

Re: For how long can you safely ride on the same set of rims?

I currently have 20yr old rims and have no hesitations about them. I know guys who have much older ones than that. I wouldn't worry about 12 yr old ones.

Like Ken (aka NSXTASY) said they will last...

Re: 14.5 lbs vs 12 lbs

Basically, yes.



Yes, friction is a big deal to keep a car in motion at a constant speed. The primary drag on a wheel is the tire. In simpler terms the wheel needs torque to accelerate but...

Re: 14.5 lbs vs 12 lbs

I am not going to get into physics and start arguing but put it this way. Ever been on ice? How long does it take your speed to reach about 80 if you are on ice? Basically no time.

Re: made a mistake today...Scratched rims

Just polish it back up. Those green scowering pads can be aggressive. Some people do like to use them to clean rims but only on anodized type finishes, something that is not polished.

Re: White Lug Nuts?

Why not paint a set? Good paint and good prep will result in a lasting finish. To protect them coming off and on you can always get one of those sockets with the protective sleeve.

Is there a possibility to post a picture of your tire? It is worth a 1000 words.

Re: Tire pressure question

Stock pressure is a good place to start. If you notice uneven wear or weird handling you can move up or down by a few PSI if you know what you are doing. I think the FAQ explains it a lot better.

Re: GM syncromesh vs Honda MTF thoughts opinions

Most improvements felt are probably due to the adding of new fluid and not of a different fluid. Think about it, if you replace your 50K tranny oil with new stuff (syncro or Honda MTF) it is going to...

Doesn't take much effort to take off the air filter and look into where the valve is to see if it is gunked up.

Re: Max wheel width???

So a 1" wider rim has a 1-1/4" wider lip? That probably means it has some heavy offset. I would look at the offset numbers before you do anything else.

Re: electric sander for painting wheels?

Probably depends a lot on the shape of the wheel, chances are there are too many details, curves, and lack of large flat surfaces to make any large powertool useful.

Was the wear on both the inside and outside of the tire or just on the outside of the tires?

Re: Wheels repair- Braze to fill curb rash?

Best to see a pro. Have you ever brazed aluminium in your life? Do you have a lathe that can spin a rim? Have you ever fixed a rim in this manor before?
