Mines Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Keefe, you meant 245/35/18 right? 245/40/18 would be REALLY big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selds Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Quick question then.. I have ION springs with the extra rear seat, will a 235/40 on a 18x8 +45 have any issues? Tires in the running: Toyo T1-R Ecsta SPT Potenza RE050A Potenza RE750 Yokohoma S. drive Falken Azenis Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 Is there a clear winner in this group? -Thx guys >8D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondgraymetallic21 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I got the T1-R's right now, absolutely love them. The S-03's are badass too, but quite a bit more expensive! Plenty of choices out there, depends what you want to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hal9e3 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Goodyear GS-D3 best STREET tire I've ever used. Excellent combo of grip, ride, comfort and quietness. If you are autoxing or doing track days then do the R compounds +1+ on th F1. I've had the T1-R as well and the F1, IMHO, is superior in almost every aspect, except cost and perhaps tire wear.

Selds Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Maybe this can help narrow it down.. I originally wanted the Potenza RE050A Pole Position but they don't come in the size I wanted. What would be comparable to this tire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Keefe, you meant 245/35/18 right? 245/40/18 would be REALLY big I've done 245/40/18 and yes, it IS big. it works but it's only good for long car trips at best.. the wider grip is almost useless for such a tall tire.

scottybuckeye Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 +1+ on th F1. I've had the T1-R as well and the F1, IMHO, is superior in almost every aspect, except cost and perhaps tire wear. So the F1's wore faster than the T1-Rs? I have ION springs with the extra rear seat, will a 235/40 on a 18x8 +45 have any issues? This wasn't answered, but I have the same question. Accept for a +48 offset, but I don't think that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B. Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Bridgestone has discontinued my tire of choice (Potenza S-03) so now I am looking for a great high performance tire that has a good water rating as well. (WA resident) Also it has to come in a 235/40 R18 Looking for well informed opinions since tires can be an important purchase. -Thx from using tire racks site...the best a/s with wet weather is the 960 a/s...max summer with the best wet was sp sport maxx. my only complaint about the 960 is a wish for a stiffer sidewall. it truly makes the wet pavement feel dry.

zildjiank Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 oh hell no , the RE050, Proxes4, or General Exclaim don't even come close to the S-03, even the stock STI Bridgestone RE070 tire is a lesser competitor in grip than the S-03... You tell em keefe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
