Thread: Tires for Boost

I run 225/45/15 because I want more traction everywhere (braking/cornering/acceleration). It's still not enough. I need more tractions!

I don't know about that. My buddy had some on some stock b14 wheels and he said he didn't like them. He convinced me to try them so I reluctantly did. THEY WERE AWFUL. My a$$ end felt like a cow was strapped in the back. I had lost all handling ability. I took those wheels off about 20 minutes later. I have 195-50 Ziex512s now and they are alright...for all seasons. I have some Kumhos on some Rota slipstreams but they are summer tires and have no traction for the first 5 minutes every morning I head to work due to the cold. When they are warm they rock though.

I meant treadwear



I like that, thats better then my current 195/55/15 220 treadwear Rated V, year old Michelins that are already bald.



That sounds tempting!

Compared to the stock 195/55/15, it looks like 215/50/15 is a winner with it being 0.1% too slow, so when traveling 60mph, I will be going 60.1 mph haha.

I bought 4 of these yesterday. $303 shipped to my door from Discount Tire. They should arrive tommorrow.

damien where'd u pick those falken's up from?

damn I rub with 205 50 r15 azenis front and back. I have found that anything over -1deg camber in the rear sits on the perch even full coilovers. I only scrub the splash gaurds in the front with -2deg camber. the only way I have seen to get bigger it to cut and roll the fenders.

I can't wait to get my car running. But now it's cold outside







On a spare set of SpecV wheels

I would like to get a wider tire, without sacrificing speedo readings. The 225-45-15 sounds very tempting to me. As long as the compound grips I will be satisfied. I will never buy all seasons for my car again. They suck.

The Hankook Ventus R-S2 come in 225/45/15 and they are always described as equals to the Falken Azenis tires. For what it's worth I tend to agree. There are stickier tires in that size, but they all need to have a lot of heat in them to be sticky. The autocross tires tend to need a lot less heat in them.
