Re: 2011 Honda Pilot - premature tire wear

We have not had any recall notices or warranty advisories on that specific tire......Goodyear has a 60,000 mile warranty on the tire for reference, so there should be some recourse if you can provide...

Re: Need Tire Help- Hankook/Kumho

While the ECSTA 4x and the Ventus V2 are pretty similar, I felt the V2 was just a little more comfortable on bad roads........

Re: Sparco Rims on my 2000 EX?

205/40R17 may rub a little on that wheel, especially if lowered. Unfortunately we don't have an alternate (narrower) size I can recommend that still carries enough load to work, so if you want to...

Re: wheel size question

Yep, should not have to roll fenders or do any work with tire size mentioned and ET35 unless lowered quite a bit

Re: Tire suggestion for turbo Accord.

You can consider Hankook Ventus S1 noble 2 (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hankook&tireModel=Ventus+S1+noble2&affiliate=FA3).... in your price range there won't be a dramatic change...

Re: Rim size for 2014 Civic Si sedan?

I don't have the specs for the OE wheel (they may be in your owner's manual) but we'd normally go no wider than a 8" wide wheel with an offset between 40mm and 45mm. A 9" wide wheel with ET35 is...

Re: 04 civic si best rim size for track

If you're going to use 205/55 or 215/55R16, a 16x7 wheel would be ideal. There is a great selection of high performance tires in both sizes (mostly in 205). Arguably, moving to a 17x7.5 or 17x8"...

Re: Fitment questions and tire reccomendations for 89 civic with 14x7 borbet

We'd recommend 195/55R14 if you can find any (we don't stock that size any longer), as that is closest to the OE tire size's overall diameter of approximately 23". The 185/70R14 averages 24.2" in...

The 225/50R16 can fit any wheel between 7.00" and 9.00" wide. With the BBK, I could not be sure that the ET you mentioned would be enough....

Re: R888 vs Advans

Well, the R888 is pretty much a "track only" tire, where the ADVAN neova AD08 (i'm guessing is the one you are referring to) is a street tire that has some track capability. You can drive the R888...

Re: New wheels - will they fit?

With the 2" drop, you may get a little rubbing if you go wider than a 205 for reference.

Re: te37 15x8 +15

As always, Matt is right on the money...... If you cut and flare the fenders, you might have just an occasional rub. Otherwise, not a practical ET

Re: BBS rs Help

I'd be concerned that ET25 would cause its own issues (regardless of the tire). Have you done a test fit with the wheel to see where the wheel ends up in relation to the fender ?

Re: Tire Size

Even at stock ride height we'd expect the need for a (rear) fender lip roll with 225

Re: 205/15/50 Summer Tires

KUmho would be best in dry, but absolutely useless in wet. The other two are very close (see our test results here) (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=172&affiliate=FA3)
