Advan A048 review *pics*

[JDMSIL80]

I just bought these for all four in the size of 225/50/15. These are Great tires, extremely sticky. Warms up quickly on the track. The single block design and sidewall are great. They allow extremely crisp and sharp turn-ins. IMO, it has better performance than the A032R (which I used to run on), and it's MUCH quiter. I highly recommend these tires if you track or autocross your car.

If you are running those for daily, you are my hero.

+100

i cant even afford to buy them for the track, nm street

i heart your car

I saw these in 240 gen, and I cant say how much I envy you. Those would for sure be my top pick for tires if my budget was not an issue. I think my Khumo MX's are pretty sticky, i would kill to drive a day on those.

That sidewall looks freaking awesome. Youre car pulls off 15's like none other that comes to mind. Again, if you daily drive these you are also MY hero.

[nismofly]

R-comps and slicks can let you pull of 15s on a 240, because they just look awesome

my *favorite* sidewall look is one i hope to achieve in a few years, R-comp 255/40/17s on 17x9.5 wheels, on all 4 corners

Thanks for the comment guys!

I am running these tires for daily, they give tremendous grip and control that I feel very secure when driving aggressively on the road.

These tires aren't cheap, and they wear out fast. My plan is to find another set of 17" wheels for the street sometime down the road. But right now I'm very happy with these and get compliments everywhere i go.

Are those 7 inch wide wheels? Looks good, my buddy bought those for his M3 turbo about 2 years ago from Japan when they were REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY uber expensive. Then he decided to redo the car so the tires have maybe 20 miles on them and are flat spotted all over. Don't let your car sit for any real long periods of time on these tires

Thanks for the heads up!

Not only do you have an absurdly nice car, but that is some of the best wheel fitment I've ever seen.

Nice tires, what do those go for, like $1k/set?

Like 190 dollars each. for 15s.

Hey JDM, thanks for posting that. Particularly with that size wheel and width tire.

I recently acquired 4 hoosiers in 225/50/R15, and I also have 7" wide wheels. It doesnt look like they bulge too much on yours, which is good news for me.

What suspension are you running? Do the tires come very close to rubbing the shock body? or coils (if you have coilovers?) Thanks alot.

I also will be running my hoosiers daily, (LOL, that'll be the day)

[kamikazestorm420]

i wish i was rich enough to be able to drive these on a daily basis.

[JDMSIL80]

I'm running HKS Hipermax D coilovers front and rear, no clearance issue what so ever.

Good luck and have fun with your grip machine

i remember a guy at my tech-school selling a slightly used hard a048. he said not to use it on the rain.

Yeah, it's a horrible rain tire, just use common sense and give yourself extra room for braking. Drive like your on sleet/slick streets when it's barely raining... and then raise your awareness from there. Basically, just use your head and you shouldn't run into any real problems.

Wow! Awesome tires!

How many miles did you get from a set of A032Rs?
