I need some new tires for my s2k.... My question is....I want so fat tires in the back... what are the widest tire I can put in the back and or fron without any problems. These are just everyday driving tires... I have 17" rims. I looked at some like 245 in the back but I have no idea what I can do... Thanks for the help

 

cant go wrong with 225 Front 255 rear

depends on rims width adn offset...

 

ok cool thanks, do you prefer a certain brand... I was looking at Nitto Invo, or Neogen.....whatever I dont care

 

not in my book but im a Federal 595 *****..... blast on my S2K and a blast on my EVO....
others here have taken my word and used them and gave them a but let them chime in on that

 

What is the width of your rear wheels?

just a heads up... you may be retarded.

anyway, feds are whats up aparently...so do that. also, i remeber you posting in the OFFICAL clean s2k thread a while back, so i know you dont have stock wheels. please tell me that they are staggered, and go find out what size tires you are running, all i remeber is seeing those fuking wanli tires you had on the S, and it was enough to make me want to puke.

just a fyi, if you still have the stock wheels, which are 16's, you're going to be paying a LOT less per tire than you would 18's. so if you are just daily driving the hell out of the car, and your not on a balla tire budget....that right there is somthing to think about.


as for myself, I've driven with Potenza RE-01R's since april, and they still have PLEANTY of tread left, even though they have like a 140 treadwear rating lol.

its all good though, seeing as how I've put her away for the winter not trying to thread jack, but anyone have any insightful reminders on storing the S over the winter?

Stabil in the gas if you aren't going to drive it. I've never really winterized a car before.

i almost pissed myself when I read that because i was thinking the same thing... haha

yeah start your car up once a week, do an oil change before and after... its not mandatory but i like to have fresh oil in at all times..

 

back to the tires...

i don't know about anyone else, but for me, my BFG g-Force T/A KDW's have been great. I originally bought just the KD's and they wore a little faster than I would have liked. That and they were dry weather only.

I am going to look into these Federal tires though for the next set.

 

Ok Ill actually post some useful info as well...

im currently running Kumho SPT's and there absolutely awesome for DD'ing in the Dry and amazing in the wet as well... i got them for a great deal back when Discount Tire had there big sale... Too bad i got to take them off for the winter

 

what size and offset are you rims?

so fat tires are not always the best bet, if your rim is not wide enough lets say a 7.5 inch and you throw on a 265 the tire will balloon out from the rim and it will give the car a floating feeling.

 

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by silentdancer &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">what size and offset are you rims?

</TD></TR></TABLE>

17x7.5 front 215/45 +48
17x8 rear 245/40 +45

rolled the rear fenders... im lowered on swift sports... over huge bumps i still rub a tiny bit but nothing big... once the spring time hits im gonna set my offset to the UK settings maybe a lil more aggressive to fit better and better handling... something like a -1.2 front and -2.2 rear

 

LOL not you man

are they good for DDing or just mostly track use?

 

I DD them. They are fine in wet weather too, just bad in snow or ice like most Ultra High performance tires. My other choice was the Kuhmo MX but they are only available in 225/50/16 and I want something as wide as stock S02's so I had to go with the Hankooks. (stock S02's are a special tire that is wider than any other 225/50 tire so you need a 245/45 to match the stock 225 width)
