I'm looking to purchase some summer tires.. 255/45/17.... Best bang for buck?

 

Really? I remember going to an Americas Tires once and they said they could get me a set.

How about Advan Neova AD08, Potenza RE-11 or Pilot Super Sports?

 

255/45 or 255/40? if your number is the same as when we talked last ill text you

 

yeah it happened a year or so back, i tried to get some from the dude who used to work at goodyear on stevens creek and he said they were tirerack exclusive...maybe americas tire would buy through tirerack? dunno, but anyways ill check on those, we usually on the lower end side of tires, but we can call in and order

what size? just pm me so we dont clutter this thread up

 

Those tires are too tall for the stock gearing, you're better off with a 255/40/17.

 

I have 245/45 now....

 

Really should go like this...

225/45
235/45 or 235/40
245/40
255/40



I'm running 235/45's and I can tell the difference between them and the 40. Way more tire.

get the 40 series. Besides.... you could go lower. LOL.

 

Going to do some wrenching mañana! Stay tuned.....

 

Saw it on facebook, but I won't spoil the surprise

 

The reason I got 45s was to clear the gap in the front.. Aldo made it less noisy and more comfortable over bumps... Is it bad?

 

45's FTW!!

 

Well you're speedo will be a bit off. With the taller tire I believe it make you seem slower than you are.

So say your speedo is at 77mph, you're actual speed might actually be 80.

 

So Luis, are you selling your car or just going back to stock?

Or both lol

 

I thought you were going to keep it now? Talking rebuilt engine at 100,xxx or whatever miles and got the fogs. Your hooked :}

 

Want to sell it...bur still find myself working on it. I also haven't really tried to sell it. I want a hatch STi but not in a hurry... Will see but I'm thinking of selling one of my two nur spec r....
