Haha good stuff.

It is smart to take some time to scrub the crap off the tires, but I would not worry about taking 500 miles...unless there is moisture on the ground.

FOr anyone else looking at these tires, I suggest going up a size as these seem a little small. My 245x40x17 are about the same size as the 235x40x17 Toyo R1R on 17x9 wheels, and DEFINATELY smaller than my 245x40x17 Star Specs on 17x9 (although we all know Star Specs run wide)

 

I weaaaaaaly wish I could run 315's...

 

two firestones refuse to mount these tires because i didn't buy the tires from them, and also because i have aftermarket wheels.

 

gotta set up that appointment with AI....

 

Don't go to those "mainstream" shops,J. That's how they operate.

 

They have the g-force M/S tires for the same price. Killer deal there as well. If I had the dough I'd buy them right now to replace my pzeros but I don't need tires right now and don't have the dough.

Never sales when I need tires. grrrrrrr.

F--- F--- F--- god dammit...F' me in the head...I wait one day and am finally able to call tire rack to verify shipping costs (computer quoted me $115 to ship, but the sales rep told me $85 just now) and they only have 1 tire left...ughhhh F'me...now I have to find another tire or go to 225/50/16 for $68

 

Cry me a river.. I am looking at paying ~$320 for 4x 165/65-14's because it's a "rare size" while people got some pretty awesome larger rubber for less.. Since my car is a POS, I am seriously considering putting on some larger tires and modifying the fenders w/ a sawzall.

 

07 STi, and yes, but I was referring to the tires I had previously which were 235/45/17, and was saying that the new 245/45/17 made a hugh difference in performance (in a good way). The sidewall is BARELY taller, just 3/10 of an inch which is nothing and the are a lot wider then my old tires.

I got my tires the next day which is amazing, and have already broken them in and they are beyond what I expected. I wish I would have purchased two sets! This is def one of the best tires Ive ever had, the size could play a part though since these are the widest Ive ever had, Im used to 215/45/17 from my RS.

 

Just got my RS2's yesterday after only ordering them Sunday morning. How are those G-forces' compared to the RS2's?

 

RS2's are better, I've had both. However I had 225/45/17 G forces, so the size could play a roll, but I doubt it, the hankooks are much better.

 

how do rt-615's compare? that's what im currently running

 

Just mounted my 225/40/18 RS-2's yesterday @ Wheel Works. Cost $99 for mounting and balancing. Now I need to go to AI and get the car aligned. Saved about 300 bucks from the original order, luckily I just caught this post in time to change it. Thanks Again!

 

any know a place in the north bay to get my tires mounted and balanced or should i just make the trek to AI since i will kill if my wheels get scuffed!
