Thread: Tires for Boost

Camber plates to compensate for the more aggressive tire angle of a lowered vehicle? My traction improved greatly with my current setup...

I was reading some CarBibles.com yesterday and came across something interesting which is going to fully justify my 205 vs 225 decision.

Go here and scroll down to "Fat or thin? The question of contact patches and grip." section

that subie forum debate is wild from that link vadim. good info from them carbible ppl.

ive always ordered my tires from edgeracing.com . they seem to have very competative prices.

stratton.

I think there closest warehouse to you Tekkie is in OHIO

Strat -

The only problem with them, is that my CC info was stolen from their server in the past. I refuse to do any business with them, anymore. Aside from that, I don't think they carry either tire I'm looking for, anyway.

I'll just have to order them and have them shipped, pending how much play money I have after getting the car shipped on Thursday.

let me know tekkie what the tires are going to cost you shipped and i will see if i can at least match the price.

I've been looking at 195/60/15 tires and they are looking very appealing because they cost $59 a tire instead of $77 for 195/55/15 hehe.

Would a taller tire be bad?

I had 195/60/15's before I got my 205/50/15's. I thought that was the factory size until it came time to replace them. LOL.

My fender gap increased a little bit when I went to 205/50/15. Need to do something about that soon.

That's what I have on as my winter wheels. I think there fine and ride very smooth over bumps. Great for the dragstrip also. I paid $39.00 each for these kuhmo's like 5 years ago. To answers your question no they won't be bad.
