Check out 714tires. I hear they sell tires for real cheap, give them a call, they're off the 405 at the Westminster exit, not too far from Irvine.

i'll give 714tire a call. thanks!

dz101 is dunlop, right? i have em on stock rims. Once they wear out little, the road noise is bad. not liking em

JDMStanced · 07-19-2011, 02:45 PM

called 714tires. All they have is federal 595 for 215/35/19 for $111 mounted.
He said federal tires are FAT but not WIDE.
They don't have 205/35/19 cause it's not a usual size.
Anyone has pics of 215/35 FEDERAL on 9"?

I have run the achilles atr's on all of my cars. They are cheap, hard, and last. They stretch well and look good.

TooFortyEssExx · 07-19-2011, 03:42 PM

I also say no to sunny's and yes to feddiees. Slid like crazy in the rain with the sunny's and also are loud as hell.

JDMStanced · 07-19-2011, 04:20 PM

Get Yokohama S-Drives then. I don't know how much they'll be for your size since you're looking for 19's or if they even make them in 19's but call around and look it up.

dz101's are loud, but they grip well, smoke great, and last. Not to mention they stretch AWESOME.

A bunch of locals are sponsored by Kenda and they swear by them now. It's worth a shot.

THe production date shows 1010..10th week in 2010. I thought they are suppose to give me the ones made in 2011..
They cool guys though

quite a few chicago drivers love the kendas

JDMStanced · 07-21-2011, 11:13 PM

when you guys buy tires, do you care about the overall diameter ratio between front and rear?

It'll be just right for me if i match rear 235/40/19 with 215/35/19 front instead of 235/35/19 rear. The diamter difference is 5.61%.

Right now, until i get new tires for rear rims, i have 215/35/19 front and 245/45/18 rear. BIG difference in diameter but my 350z doesn't light up SLIP sign. Do not have TPMS (aftermarket rims)
245/35/19 might BARELY tuck the sidewall. nothing's for sure.
235/40/19 would definitely tuck the tires.
The reason i don't want 235/35/19 is because if i do use them, my car would be dropped VERY close to the ground due to decrease in overall diameter. But still, not being able to touch the fender with sidewall.
My front vertex bumper is already VERY close to ground.
can i go 235/40/19 rear? I won't be racing in the street. i take it to the track.

I'm a fan of ATRs...thats all I shreaded for the rears in Okinawa. They grip awesome for drift tires and they're better than most in the wet for summer tires.
