WWEEEEEWWWWWTTTT For The UPS Man!1!shift+1!!!!!

i got my new tires in today!!! WWWOOOOOOOTTTT!!!! i will be taking them to the local career center to go on my rims, so they'll do it for free! these tires should defininatly improve my cars handling. of course..the rb springs and tokico illuminas wont hurt it either. and when i do that, i will also be putting on all new hawk pads.

im so excited!!! the tread pattern looks lke it will give all around good grip, but also even in the rain, with those deep treads. but im also really happy with the sidewall height. it has a nice aggressive size, but will also limit sidewall flex when im racing!!!

discuss..

HTR200s? Awesomeness.

Looks like... 83LE wheels? Need a little TLC, but they'll turn out awesome.

What size are those tires?

With the way everyone talks those up, I think I may go with them instead of the Falken Ziex's or whatever they are called. That is awesome though.

yea, these were only 52$ per tire so they may not be the best tire, but its the best for the money!!

i know kentetsu has these as well, maybe he will chime in and give some insight.

It looks like they ought to do the trick alright! I'm pretty happy with my Sumi's too. Get that stuff installed so you can come over again, maybe we'll set up a little GR meet or something before it gets too late in the year.

Hit them with some dish soap and put them on now. Just have to take them somewhere to get them balanced.

I recommend the Falken Azenis tires, i used both the Sumitomo and Falken, and the Falken has a much stiffer sidewall.

Yeah, the one thing I don't like about them. When racing, I have to jack the pressure up to 45 - 55 psi range.

I really need to get better wheels/tires though (better size, I mean). The stock size just can't keep up with the car itself any more... mmmmm, diamond wheels with some good racing rubber!
