What up Blake! I am in agreement with you, currently running RE750s 225/45 17. 300 treadwear, quiet, grippy in dry and wet...perfect street tires. As soon as my RE070s wear out from autocross, I'd like to try the RE01Rs for Solo, same 140 treadwear as the RE070s.

 

Check out the Hankook R-s2 z212 tires or whatever from DiscountTireDirect.com (free shipping) and pretty good prices. Those tires aren't on tirerack.com though.

But aren't these Bridgestones summer tires. The threadstarter was looking for all-season.
But, I really don't see why you would need all-season in Hawaii.
Never any snow here.

BTW...I wouldn't say the grippier the tire, the noisier in all instances.
I used to run Pirelli P-Zero Rosso, and yes, in that instance, they had great grip and was one of the noisiest tires I've ever ran...
But, I'm running Michelin PS2 on my current setup and they grip so well for non R-compounds and are very quiet.

Just stay away from the Dunlops and the Toyos, from my past experience.
Grip just isn't so great with those.
I used to have Dunlop S9000 and Toyo T1-R... they break grip so easily.

But yea... usually... the grippier they are.. .the less tread life you'll get.

 

Goodyear Eagle F1 if you can afford. Dry or in the rain these tires rarely break loose. Sticky icky...btw the tread patterns dead sexy.

 

Chris, did you have problems with 235's or have you not tried them yet?

I'm probably going to have to start looking for new tyres, I think that I'm going to go with the set that you just picked up. The Hydroplaning rating is just a bit lower on these tyres than the KDW2's that I'm very much used to but if this one has more grip them

235's would be a problem on a wagon, but probably not a sedan. I need to roll my fenders soon, and raise my suspension. I shaved the sidewalls pretty nasty on the 225's this past week. It's the rears that makes for fitment issues.

 

hey guys thanks for all the replys.. i ended up buying the kumhos.. they should come in tommarrow.. they stay in oahu right now... i kinda wished i got 225 instead of 215 though.. o well..

 

Understood. I remember you having those rubbing issues with the rear wheel guards at auto-x that one time. I think my height is ok for now but we'll soon find out with the 235 RR that I'll be running at the next auto-x. That's going to suck ***** if I have to raise it up at all since it's pretty much higher than it was with my Teins.

That reminds me I have to change my rear suspension and dampening settings before Sunday. If you're going to TnT enjoy for me since I won't be there for me but will be there on Sunday

Thanks,

Jon

 

you could always sell your 215s and order a set of 225s before mounting them. I'm sure someone else might need tyres

 

k the rims/tires stay at my house... only prob is only rims can fit in my car so idunno how i going get to someplace for mount/balance them/// i think i going ask my friend for help me haul the tires.. my trunk is full btw.. dam subs
