I usually watch Tire Rack for sales. Eventually some good tires will come up.

Forgot to mention my tire sizes. The Z214's are 275/35/18 and the Conti's are 225/50/16

Dunlop Direzzas. 255/35/18s on 18X9.5. Speedo is still almost bang on with my GPS. Wear excellent, very good on the track, very good for autox. After 2 track days, 2 Solo Sprints and 3 auto crosses and about 8000kms this summer I think I MIGHT get another season out of them.

I got quoted $700 for 4 17inch azenis, good deal? Sounds good to me, plus install.

Front: SSR Type C - 18" x 9.0" -> Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R 235/40/R18
Rear: SSR Type C - 18" x 9.5" -> Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R 265/35/R18

LOVE this set up... calculated less than 1% rolling diameter difference front to rears... result? AWD work perfectly

that said, how stupid would it be to put a 265/35 on the fronts to have them match? Im fairly sure it could fit... thoughts?

[DJ]

yes sir it will fit, but it MIGHT rub the inner fender liners

I run 275/35/R18 on Panasport G7C5C2 18x12 front and back and they dont rub at all. Mind you it is an R33 which may or may not make a difference. The tires are Falken Azenis I believe

I have RE-01Rs at 265/35R18 front and back. Fits fine once the tires gut out the liners.

Sumitomo HTR-Z with a tread wear rating of 180 (oh yea, they hook), cheap as hell from TireRack and made in Japan.

front: 245/45r17s on a 9" rim

rear: 275/40r17s on a 10" rim


Both tires are a perfect 25.2" dia. (so is the 315/35r17......mmmmm) and the ATESSA works just fine. If the rear rim was a 10.5 I might have put the 315 on there but the 275 has a slight stretch so the 315 might be a little too bulgy and not fit in the wheel well.


Haven't driven them in the rain yet but the reviews on TireRack say they are pretty decent in the wet stuff. Hook up pretty darn well on -3 deg pavement at 1.2 bar (about 600hp).
