Any of you guys have suggestions for tires? I have the Hankook V12's now and am not too impressed with them, the sidewalls are too soft for me. Also I plan on getting 245/35/20 Fronts & 275/35/20 Rear for tire sizes (CV3's are 9'' Front and 10.5'' Rear) and getting +20/25 offsets as well, but want enough protection from the tires so the MN roads dont put a beating on my rims. Thoughts?

 

Woohoo I'm not the youngest anymore!!

 

I'm most likely going with the Continental DWS. All season high performance tires. I got a bit more research to do but I'm really wanting a tire that has great ride comfort, has low road noise and offer good performance for the occasional twisties. These seems to hit all the check marks.

 

Kinda of long video but you can see Sahiwal and Z gave way to G coupes in there

Canibeat

 

I remember those days....

 

Dan - Aaron (tt z350) actually highly recommends Cont Dw's as well. I know Mike loves them.

I rock Toyo T1R's. They're a little spendy, but I like the soft rubber and rounded sidewall shaped similar to Falkens.

 

...4:20 & 9 mins Pete's car...

and Tevi your familiar with Mr. 8 mins


but Damien (Z Gave way to G) wasn't there?? I just talked to him last week, his car is in storage and in winter mode.

 

^^ That vid is siiiiiiick! are any of those dudes from the midwest? I am guessing its all the south based on their stance

 

And Lance I have heard good things about the Continentals DW's... I knew my V12's didnt do well in wet conditions, but they sucked the day we took the cruise down to Winona and Rochestor. Brandon said the same thing, Trev what did you think? You were prolly to focused on that wide dime in Wisconsin LMFAO

 

You guys think your performance tires suck... LOL imagine the Hankook Ventus V4ES on those twisty roads... now that was sketchy..

 

Haha yes it was

You'll love the DWS's as long as your not a crazy man through the corners

 

i like my yokos...for winter i run the w drives, and summers i'm currently running the s drives..i might try the advan sports down the road.

ryan is currently running the continental dws, definitely an improvement from the nexens he had when we bought the car...

trev...turns out ryan has to work ALL day and night on saturday =/ have a good time!!

 

You're right. Just rewatch the video and I did get my screen names wrong. I blame it on being half asleep when I was posting and having multiple forum windows open

 

I thought the tires handled pretty good. Im pretty happy with the v12's espescially for the price. I will have to get new tires next year though with the new rims.

The cat with the tire shop in Bloomington has really good, slightly used performance tires. Im gonna check his selection out.. I know this year he had super sports with alot of tread left for 100 each..

Im going 225/265 9.5/10.5 +15

Also.. I officially put a thread on driver looking for some oem cats. I dont have the right set up to have the HFC's need a true dual with an x-pipe.. not gonna spend more money on exhaust. If anyone wants the HFC's let me know.. they are going on driver when I get the oem's.

I want to get my exhaust right before the car is up on stands! The car drives awesome but sounds like sheet

Im just burning way to much gas and I dont want to spend a G to go and come from MIA

 

Hrmms... Tires tires tires... Since we kinda on that topic what would u guys run on an 11" wheel? 315? Don't know if anyone here runs anything that wide. Also, do you guys wait til you slap on the wheels before rolling your fenders? I already know for sure ill have to have them rolled to fit the 9" & 11" wheels w/ +15 all around. Suggestions?
