    cause they charge double the price... plus i had to repair the wheels i just bought and the guy at the wheel store gave me a good offer... never though he'd screw me over for a little bit more change in his pocket.

    damn i've learn my lesson, i'll never buy cheap shit again. lol waste of money and time when i could of done it right the first time.

    rollatuner is your tire 185? or 175? cause my tire is 185 and it looks a bit big in width. should i go with 175 next time?

    man Autobacs over here in Japan is freaking expensive! its one of the highest price carrying stores here in Okinawa.

    hey Phan my 15's have the OEM staggered setup from the MR-2 with 185/50R15 front and 205/50R15 rear they are Bridgestone Potenza. just letting you know, just expect to pay a price for the smaller size though.

    does the 205/50/15 make your tire wider then your rear body? cause 185/60/14 makes the rear and the front on my car a teeny bit wider then the fenders and the rear.

    Wider than the fenders...? I had 195/50/15s on my Corolla, and they fit inside the fenders just fine.

    umm next time get a real performance tire. Its almost more important than suspension. Get Falken Azenis RT-615s or Bridgestone Potenza RE-01 R's.

    205/50/15's fit snugly inside my fenders. There were rubbing a little in the back, so I rolled the fenders. The wider the tire, the more contact with the road = more traction. Just don't go crazy with the sizes. 205 fits perfectly. It changed the stance of car. Has a wider footprint.

    the rear tires are slightly wider that the fronts but not by much you have to reall pay attention to it to notice.A lso since my car is lowered all the way down it squats with the tires sitting inboard so it never hits the fenderwells. I already had the fenderwell lining rolled when I installed the 18's.

    my bridgestones hate me when i take some hard ass turns especially when people are in the car.

    Depends on which bridgestones you have. I've always been a big fan with bridge stone on tarmac. But yeah, bridgestones do use slightly harder rubber compound comparing to other tires in the same league so unless they are warmed up nicely, they do have the tendency to sqeal and slip a little (generally speaking). The other thing I don't like about bridgestones is they grip and grip and grip and you have a harder time feeling if the tires are wearing out compared to others.. and then all of a sudden at the end, you slip and slip and slip.. hehehe. Thats the experience i've had with bridgestones. But overall, They last longer and for the price you pay, you get good performance.

    btw, i don't understand your how your comment related to my previous comment.. :)

    my car is modified all around except for the body and the majority of the interior. most work is engine and trans and traction control system. Though it no longer has the turbo since it siezed up on me while it was sitting in the garage and I was over here in Japan.

    i have the SO3 version sold by discount tire company. they grip a bit too much when compared to the RE something 90 tire model. they have less noise and work excellent in dry temps, i do not know about cold temps because it never gets cold in Texas down south. Bridgestone has been better overall compared to my BFGoodrich which are my other set of touring tires. The Falken's are great for high speed stability but they wear out too quickly and are expensive to repair/replace.
