ever since the tires were mounted on my TE-37's, somehow my steering wheel is crooked like 2-3 degrees...the car drives straight but what gives?? I even took the wheels off to make sure the hub centric rings was on and the lugs torqued to proper specs and checked the tire pressure....o well....time for a new alignment..... BTW.....these tires are awesome even in the rain

 

Get a alignment.

 

You might as well get your wheels/tires balanced also. Where did you buy them from and how much?!

If the tire was mounted by any reputable tire shop that would have already been done...

And check tire pressure.

Defective TE37s!!! The stickers probably come off, too, eh Dan? LOL. Naw, did you take it to West End yet?

 

i'm pretty sure your tires have been balanced. get an alignment to straighten out your steering wheel and to make sure she's within spec.

 

So the 615's in the 215/45/16 have been released already?

They're not on the Vulcan Tire site or the Edge Racing site or the Discount Tire site yet.

Can you tell us where you got them, or if perhaps you got a different size (like 205/40-16)?

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

But if they are out, then great.

I used to not balance track tire. Not worth the extra couple dozen bucks for autox tires

Already? They were supposed to have been released 3rd quarter of 2005.

Well, we don't know whether they're out already - like Todd, I'm thinking probably not yet - but according to Vulcan's website, they're due in March. In fact, it says that all the coming 16", 17", and 18" sizes should be out in the next two months. The only remaining sizes still to come after that are a few 14" and 15" sizes, primarily for older Civics.

I don't know if this represents a change to previously announced schedule dates or not.

 

I emailed Falken and they replied back that the 215/45/16 will be released in April.

So how much were they per tire before taxes and shipping?

 

Price was $125.90 each...plus I had to pay $5 per tire for the special order... I just went to my local America's Tire ...

Guess im the first person with these?..

 

yeah probably with those size

 

Sweet, I'm glad it is true and that size is out.

What width wheels do you have them mounted on? I'm trying to figure out if they are wider than the 205/50/15's or not.

 

yup i have thoes in a larger size and love them. Also in the rain they are much better then the 215.
