I took a look at discounttire & tirerack, not to many choices.

What <U>OTHER</U> then Azenis would you get?
I want to cut the weight down and stay on a 16x7, I thought PZero but don't see them listed...

PS (will use the stockers & azenis for track)

Concidering a wheel upgrade/ my stockers look like chit.

 

215-45-16 Bridgestone Potenza RE010

 

Dunlop FM901's
Falken Azenis RS
OEM Re0-10 (expensive)

 

Does anyone have a site that lists more tires then the ones I said before?

I like the RE010 but had them once and would like to try something else

Need some options but not sure where to look

 

s-03 available in this size?
s-03 will be the next tire i purchase.

 

why not just get the cheapest 16" tire and not be too worried about the weight?

 

Search for a 215/40/16 at Tire Rack. The only model that I can think of in 215/40 is Kumho 712.

 

Those tires, as they are sold in the United States and Canada, should not be used on the ITR. They are designed specifically for the NSX, and specifically to be used on the front of the NSX, on a particular side. Each tire has built-in biasing that is designed to work with the NSX alignment and suspension (as described here, and is designed differently (different biasing and compound) from the 17" NSX rear tire. People have tried them on the ITR and have reported problems in doing so.

I check Bridgestone's website on the S-03 and Dunlop's website for FM901 (214/45-16)&gt; But they don't have it in that size.

If you do use the 215-45-16 Bridgestone Potenza RE010 on the R. You have to get it realignment. I don't know what problems you might run into after the realignment.

 

rob, why do you have to make things so difficult on yourself

type in 205/45/16 and be done with

 

then my speedo will be outta wack

 

with 205/45/16!!!...slaps forehead

 

Yea, out a whole .5 mph @ 60 mph.

 

Kumho Ecsta 712's - 215-40/16

It's what I'm running for winter tires, pretty happy with them too.

Austin

 

this must be them 60 degrees cali winters

 

Mostly rain, and some small amounts of ice, with the occassional snow flurry.

 

205/40R17 on 13.5 lb Centerline RPM wheels. bLiNg bLiNg y0!

Yes, yes, I know he was asking about 16" tires, but there's more selection in that size and it matches the stock tire diameter.

 

Outer diameter in inches:
195/55-15 23.44 (stock)
215/45-16 23.62 (+0.74 percent)
205/45-16 23.26 (-0.77 percent)
205/40-17 23.46 (+0.05 percent)

 

I have been disappointed with the weight of the Azenis or i think its the weight, So On that note I want to change the tires to a different type.

And When I had A022 on before these I like the crisp turning similar to the RE010s- now I dont have the nice turning I just muscle thru turns Knowing that the azenis will stick.

Decisions, decisions

Go with the RE010 and have $800 tires go bad in 9 months or what???

CAN Yokohama A520 TL 225/40R-16 85V fit a 16x7 rim and fit under a stock suspension R?

 

duuuuude...whats with all these funky sizes
look again...slaps forehead for the second time

205/45/16 Pirelli Pzeros and call it a day

 

I'm gonna argue something I want to get the most fit-able rubber under the car as humanly possible with out cutting or modifiying.

And don't the JDM Rs have 215/45-16? and what type of tire do they run? (RE010?)

205 vs 215... bigger is better I think

 

The JDM Rs have 215/45-16 but they are a different RE010 from the ones for the NSX. The NSX takes the RE010 H0, which is asymmetrical and rotational (which is why you have to specify a left tire or a right tire when you buy it). The JDM R takes a different spec RE010 (not the RE010 H0), a tire which is rotational but symmetrical (NOT asymmetrical) and does not have the bias or compound designed to work at a specific end of the NSX.

If you want to order the NSX-spec RE010, go ahead. At least one person here tried them and hated them so much that he immediately took them off and sold them.

 

Look again duuuuuuuuuuuuuuude - I just threw the numbers up there for all the sizes that have been mentioned in this thread, duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. I thought maybe all the other duuuuuuuuuudes might be interested in how much their speedometers and odometers might be off. Maybe you forgot, more information is supposed to be a GOOD thing, duuuuuuuuuuude.

 

I used to have 215/40/16 yokohama A520's on my integra. It doesn't throw it off that much. Like 3% or something and it's a smaller diameter so it helps gearing just a little. I liked the ride and they cornered really well. They're a really good tire and relatively cheap. I've seen them listed at http://www.tires.com, that was a while ago though so check it again.

 

215/40-16 22.77 (-2.87 percent), duuuuuuuuude
