After months of hyping up the Falkens, I finally had it put on
Still new so not sure about performance, but the 215 is just as wide as the 225 Kumhos

yoshi - who still has a few more mods to install tonite

How are they in the rain compared to the stock re10

 

so far with the wet roads from the fog that I have had to drive through they receive a from me.

Hey Austin,

what tire pressure are you running? The Advans in the same size were factory recommended at 29F/27R in japan.

yoshi - who can't wait to go break them in on tonite's "little" canyon drive

 

treadwear is what, 200? I'm looking at the same set Yosh, let me know how you like them after your Run...

Yoshi234...I thought you bought 205 50 15's, didn't you say you got the last set or something like that?

 

I'm running them at the 35F/33R, haven't altered the pressures a whole lot...drove home from the drag strip at 25 with only a little wobble...I'll make changes at the autocross on Sunday.

 

yes, I did buy the last set of 15s also. But that set is going on another ITR

Hey Yoshi,

You have a Signal Auto shift **** too? hehe... cool.

reid

 

juju- it's a "Yoshi signature series" shift **** aka one-of-a-kind

 

how's the clearance on them? you running stock height? I have 16" spoon +45 lowered 1", a problem or should I not worry...that's one of my concerns...

I have 205 45 16's now and it looks close...

 

If it's close w/ 205s, the 215s *might* rub. But a little massaging of the fender lip should take care of that. I'll check how much clearance I have tonight.

where did you get them?

 

I got the tires thru America's Tire Co (www.tires.com)

since I got so many IMs about the head unit (although my intent was to show the shift ****), here is the info on it:
it comes stock in a accord v6 (model # MF928AO). I have no idea how much they are as it's my j0b to test these units. It's a definite improvement over the stock unit, but I must warn you that it's not a direct plug-in. You'll have to make an adapter to make it fit, but it's worth it if you like the OEM "look" Also, if you go w/ this unit, you can hook up a steering wheel remote

yoshi - who doesn't have the remote yet

 

those look loke fun!! props on that shift ****!!
damn yoshi i would really like one of those head units on my car..hint hint...hahaha

 

hey yosh did you get a discount on the tires? for being a member of So cal itr?

 

no discount, but it's the best price in town. Unfortunately, our contact at America's Tire got transferred to Georgia

yoshi-
doh! I was looking at the interior pic again and noticed my watch under the radio. I've been looking for that thing for the past week Right under my nose and didn't even see it till I posted a picture

 

Falken A! Sounds like some good falken tires.

 

i'm running 195/55/15 with F28/R26. Raining is pretty good compared with re010

 

Did you get the 195/55's from Japan? I also have 195/55's and have been messing around with the pressures. Did you find that going lower (under 30) was better?

 

Hey Yoshi,

Did both set of tires come in yesterday, I just got my car back today cause I want to get em' mounted tomorrow!

 

thanks yosh...I appreciate the info...

 

I dont see Falkens on tires.com,, wheres it at??

 

yoshi: out of curiousty how much did u get em for?? here in Australia the 215/45/16's are going for around $270 AUSD, thats around $140USD each......

 

I got them for $93 ea

arren:
the total width of tires is 8.5" and the height is 23"
