If you can spend the money on the Neova it is worth it Most unbelievable street tire ive ever seen IF NOT the Azenis 615 is a fine reasonable way to go, but they get greasy on the autox ( @ least larger courses )

The new hotness out now that is competing w/ the Neova but fo rmuch more reasonable price is the Dunlop Z1 Star Spec

You would have to throw a 225 on your wheels to run the Dunlop, which I think you should do anyway

 

can any photoshop wizard lower elliots old del sol? i may be pickng up a set of wheels similar 2 his and want 2 see what they look like on a lowered sol. thanks

 

Mornin everyone..

good to see Camacho pop his head in here for a bit. Even if it was just a for sale add..

Had a weird *** meeting yesterday about starting a thursday night event in the Highland Park area. I could swear that the owners were coked out, well that and [freak]in drunk. Everything was done in Spanish so I probably only got a third of everything that was said threw out the hole thing.
I'll keep the local people posted.

But to run 225s you really need an 8 inch wide rim.

Five second ms paint chop.

 

thanks dude

uhh uhhhhhhh not true!

In all seriousness I have owned 225 RA1's with a +35 15x7

and many people I know run that too, its no biggie some tires are cut differently, the Star Specs run small

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why did you do that?!?! It makes me miss that car so much seeing it low!

 

bahhhhh all this 16" talk reminds me about how i ran 215 40 16 on my 16x6.


ugh. soo much sidewall.

 

Yeah definitly make sure the tire youre running has a stiff sidewall if youre mounting on a 6 inch wheel haha. I like that pixxxor thooough, jailbait in the backround too ...

 

anyone got some pics of cages installed in their car?

Only speaking from what I have read 225s on a 7" give a more "sloppy" feeling to the suspension. (largely due to side wall stiffness of the tire)

Hence why I was wanting to move to an 8" rim so I could run 225s to their full potential.

And yes I know lots of auto cross guys run that size because its the largest allowed in class. and for that more tire = quicker times.

Just looked at that tire on tirerack and the 222 size is 225/50. [freak] that. Looks like a nice tire though.. just not in a size I could use.

 

i dunno, i haven't heard much of anything except for hype on the star specs.

if you can afford them, run the re-01s. if not, the azenis are your next best bet. i wouldn't even bother with the rest of the lot really

a. Falken Azenis 215/45/16 or 205/40/16 - $99-101
(Don't make 205/45/16 but heard 215/45/16 fits alright so I'm assuming they run small or something...my buddy settled for the 205/40s for his 16x7s and they look kinda too small )
b. Yokohama S.Drives - $94
(Already have two 205/45/16s on front so would just have the complete set all around brand new)
c. Yokohama Parada Spec 2 - $78
(same brand different model...cheaper)
d. Advan A048
(good for track but street or parking lot?)
e. Advan Neova
f. BF G-force Drag Radial NT
(tires I've always liked in the past...great "street racing" tires imo)
g. BF G-force KWD2 NT - $116
(BF not for drag and come on the mugen civic Si's )
h. Potenza RE01R/RE070
(saw the re070s on the new s2K CR and liked them...looked like the car had pretty good traction when i saw it run down the track even tho i know its rwd...heard the re01r is slightly better...also saw this set on an s2k)
i. Nitto NeoGen - $91
j. Nitto NT55 - $113

all prices/estimates from discounttire.com

anyone know of a better site to shop from?</TD></TR></TABLE>

unfortuantly a few of the tires you listed arnt available in a lowered honda friendly size

bfg drag radials i dont believe come in a 16", and dont believe neovas come in a 205/45.. had some like new ones on my regas, but they were 205/55/16, wayyy too big for me which sucks, cause they are such an awesome tire, on my buddies built k20/k24, top mount gt35r coupe and they are absolutly amazing on his car!

truthfuly id suggest the s.drives for a spirited daily, and a tire that still has good treadwear.. i love mine

eww no way, your crazy 205/45 is perfect, 205/40 is too small, and asking for a bent rim/bumpy ride

but i would love to get soem 215/40's (nearly the same sidewall as a 205/45) prob my next set i will

just my opinion, and from what ive experienced with most all 205/40's

01s? you mean r? Those are over priced IMO and just as good as the Azenis.

Azenis suck *** dude, greasy as [freak] and dont last @ all. we just put a set of 4 *specs on my brothers hatch while he was instructing Summit main and they performed like R comps ( or like a Neova ), really unbelievable how far street tires have come in the passes 5 years. They are as fast as the older R comps 5 years ago.

And yeah I agree w/ Wray, @ least a +45 when running a 205/16

Well with the right stance it looks just fine. 40 series are about .15 smaller than stock while a 45 is .25 larger than stock. Personal preference i guess but if your bending rims you probably should adjust your driving rather than your tire size.

I still want to buy a set of 225 45 15....

:mumbles to self "one day..." :

:edit: just read some on the star specs... Those looks nice! very nice except for the sizes that are listed.

 

pm'ed you back and emailed you too email me back at luapchoi@gmail.com

 

anyone have any aftermarket LCA's for sale

- Obviously looking to get performance from these tires. Something I can auto-x which is why azenis come to mind first, or the KDW2s, or potenzas. Considered drag radials even tho when i run at the track I have slicks, but nice to have them on the street if you know what I mean . Something that would be good for both would ideal...which says azenis again I believe
</TD></TR></TABLE>


azenis are nice tires, but they spin like crazy. (there very quite and smokey ) and dont last long

there great for lateral movements, but there not so great with rapid acceleration (or slamming it into second) they wear fast as well, as i would think most soft tread would.

I always thought Azenis were some great tires? They were going to be my next tire. I don't need R compound like grip and wear on a street tire though. I thought you could get azenis to wear decently.

And please nighaaaa. 225/50? MOTHER[freak] that.

Jon how do you feel about the Hancook RS2's? Just curious because I've had mine for a while and they've been pretty good to me.
