Got New Tires Today!

[chrislis]

Dunlop SP Sport FM190's. I just got 2 for the rear now, wow what a difference. These tires kick some serious ***. The traction is rediculous, the grip like a mother ****er, minus having to pull out into traffic pretty hardcore and going sideways due to new rubber. I'm deffinately going to be staying with these. Good stuff.

[chrislis]

901's my bad.

[TOPSECRT88]

How do they handle in the rain??

[chmercer]

they dont grip for **** once you get them hot, fyi.

[chrislis]

havent got them wet yet.

[97ka-t]

Falken Azenis. Dry weather. They kick all other brand's asses. The one small problem is... They don't last very long.(Do I need my camber adjusted? hahahah)

[chrislis]

that looks identical to what i had on up until today lol.

[fatboy]

ihave bfg g-force sport tires. im pretty satisfied

[D1SR240]

I'm runninh ES-100s and I like them, I think they're good for their money.

[TOPSECRT88]

let us know when you get those Dunlops in the rain, was looking to buy some.

[chrislis]

will do. should be tomorrow if this humidity stands through the night.

[lrb_2000]

you guys and your camber... I just switch tires over every once in a while.. makes them last long :P

[rico05]

Too bad the ST-215 is dead, but apparently, the RT-615 can get 1-2 trips around the cones than the 215s could (as per testing in Aug 05 GRM)

Screw these pansy tires. I want Advan AO48S. Bling Bling.

[97ka-t]

It's what I get for having 225's in the front and 255's in the reear

[kamikazestorm420]

i have the bridgestone potenza s-03 on my car.

they grip like a mother****er too but its expensive for what i do with my car

[grimple1]

Pirelli Pzero Nero M+S here. I like them very much. Living in Chicago prevents me from having a totally summer tire. snow.. snow... snow... ice.. and snow...

[chrislis]

not wet yet!

[fatboy]

bridgestone potenza s03 is the best tire you can get for a 15 inch rim that is if price isnt a factor. thats my 2 cents

[240crawler]

I know this sounds pansy, but when I bought my car it had Walmart Douglas Xtra trac. Being the first 240 I have ever driven, I thought it handled well. Faster through turns than anything but my Vette. Yesterday, a little drifting exercise caused a rear blowout. My brother gave me 4 new Falken 451. Grip is heavenly, I added 25 to 30 mph in all turns, with none of the usual tire squeal. I have to quit drifting untill I find 2 more stock rims, as he took a chance stealing the tires from his shop, and said if I can make them last, I can have free Falkens whenever.

He also can liberate some Azenis tires. Are they good? I am running 195/65 front and 215/60 rear.

Tires cost me 6-pack of Natural Ice--what a redneck! (I must be adopted, as both of my brothers act imbred sometimes!!!!)

[IowaRB240SX]

I like my Falken Azenis that I had on my CRX. They even worked good on the strip. The Nitto Neo Gens I have on my Xb are sweet lookin, grip hard dry, but blow a** in the rain. I have Nankang cheapo's on my C5's for the 240, just because I don't expect them to last long.

[chrislis]

town fair tire tried getting me to buy hankooks over dunlops. i wanted to slap them in the face. haha.

[97ka-t]

Falken Azenis are ****ing awesome. They handle like nothing else in DRY weather. Right before I wore them totally bald I couldn't get past 40mph without losing traction. Even bald, they were stickier than the Kuhmos I have on now

[dfw240_EE]

I use thesehttp://www.tirerack.com/tires/...rTredGoodyear Assurance ComforTreds. They are a nice solid middle ground tire. They weren't the cheapest thing sold, but they aren't the most expensive. I have only had them for a month, but they work well.

Before that I had Yokohama Avid Tourings. Yet again a middle road tire, but I liked how they wore. Much better than the Bridgestone BT-70s I used on my old Civic, which wore out well within a year.

:tisk ummm, stealing=not cool. Pay for your parts and dont rip off other people for personal benefit.

[chrislis]

:tisk ummm, stealing=not cool. Pay for your parts and dont rip off other people for personal benefit.

he bought them with natural ice, you must have missed that!

[240crawler]

:tisk ummm, stealing=not cool. Pay for your parts and dont rip off other people for personal benefit.

He did not steal them, simply liberated them from the tire shop he works in.Everyone there gets free tires, but only mudgrips. I am sorry for the mistake, but tires are not 451, they are 512 falken.

Azenis are not in same size as now, something like 205/50, but may still work. Narrower than my current rears, but much stickier.

I will trade 4 new Falkens or Kumho 712 for a good set of aftermarket wheels, or "JDM drift tyte" nissan factory for my 4 lug s13.

I also solicited advice in the KA forum, but got no response. I have a used Pacesetter header laying in my front yard. Is it worth the time to install?

Will it cut torque? Will it improve top-end? Will it make my car sound ricey when combined with a 2.75 pipe?

[SeVa-S13]

I have a used Pacesetter header laying in my front yard.

I'd say you and your brothers are very much so related.Pacesetter is of relatively crappy quality but if it fits well, use it. And it doesn't matter what header brand it is.. a header and a large exhaust on a 4 banger is gunna sound like a loud 4 banger. So yes, it'll probly sound loud and ricey, but you can cut down on the rice depending on "muffler" and using a resonator.

It is in my yard along with other stuff I need to sell with a bigass sign that says "FOR SALE"If it sounds as ricey as when I removed cat and rear muffler for straight exaust, I will burn my car. Still do not have cat, but no emissions check here. Really, the rice sound is overplayed here. There are so many Civic GTRs, Buicks with GTR or VTEC emblems, even a nice Miata with 18 inch spinners. We have so many cars with Autozone APC mufflers it is like a living advertisement for this ****. You can ask anyone in my town who is cooler--APC or Apexi-- APC is what you hear. I am proud to not follow the lead of others. If I did, I would have a mud truck or a Cavalier-SIR.

I have Toyo T1-S's and they are AMAZING in dry and wet conditions. I had old old Proxes H4 when i first bought the car and couldn't do a right turn at a stop light from standstill in 2nd without losing the rear. tossed em 3 days later

Dunlops suck *** in the rain, I know from personal experience. Open diff+slick pavement= tail-end all over the place even when not on the throttle. I've since went to Bridgestone Potenza RE950's-- a night and day difference.
