Tires!

didn't they come out with the "upgrade" to the falken 512's? i forgot whats the new # for the new one...possibly the 912's?


for 912's and my size (195/55/15) the UTQG rating is 480-A-A. i guess an A isn't too bad compared to an AA right? its a V rating but it costs almost twice the price of mine..at least for that website...

i just looked at discounttiredirect.com and the same size 912's tires are only 79 a pop...HUGE diff from 116 a pop but the rating is only 360 instead of 480...i guess thats the big diff ..

if you go to treadepot.com and search for 195/55/15 tires...look down the list until you see Good Year's Respondedge tire.

that tire tread looks funky!

The Proxes4 are AAA. That's a big difference.

Falken Ziex 512

yeah but they dont have my tire size

Tires!

what's the best all season tires you guys have used? im currently on kumho ecsta asx but i feel like the threads aren't deep enough for me.

Toyo Proxes4

The Toyo Proxes4 are more balanced, excel in all handling areas better, and have more tread life than the Falken Ziex ZE-512. You can compare the 2 ratings below. But even besides that, I can personally vouch for Toyos. You can't beat the excellent grip and handling from such a price effective all season tire. It may be an all season tire, but its a high speed all season tire with a V rating.

Customer ratings are relative and the 512's has almost twice as much ratings then Toyos on that site. As for treadwear Proxes has a 300 Tread wear rating, Ziex512 has a 360. Also the 512's are about half the price. I have 512's on my steelies and they last forever.

didn't we have a conversation about tires a few months ago?

ecsta's!! lol that's what i have... i'm cheap. ok ok ... back to whatever you guys were talking about.

hehe well I've beaten and abused my first set of Toyo Proxes4 and they still last a long time and stick to the road. Cheaper tires of course will have more ratings since more people can afford them. But once you experience a set of Proxes4, you won't go back.

the tire discussion will never end!!! muahahahahaha!!!

Hey, but this time it's all season tires. ROFL4

yeah but when i was using a tire calculator and with my wheel's offset at +42, 205 width might rub for me and i really dont want to take a chance

What's your tire size?

195/55/15

You can actually use the 205/50/15 sizing instead. The tire diameters are almost exactly the same. It's just a little wider.

lol dunno anywhere near me to do that

You can do it yourself with a baseball bat. That's what I did. It took only 30 minutes with a floor jack.

what about the inner lip? i thought that what you are talking about... isnt that where it would rub instead of the outside lip?

There's only one lip so I'm not sure what your referring to.

You can always roll the fenders.

i mean i would need to roll my inner fender..
