how are these tires? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

JDMStanced · 07-19-2011, 12:39 AM

i'm looking for new tires that are good for dry and wet.
SUNNY SN3800 93W BSW
FEDERAL SS-595 84W BSW
SUNNY SN3970 88W BSW
ACHILLES Atr Sport 88W XL BW

i found many good reviews about these tires except for SN 3970. tell me what you guys think about these.
Also, which ones give nice stretch?

JDM_Tuner · 07-19-2011, 12:47 AM

FEDERAL SS595 FTW, definitely the best tires for the price. and for sure the best tires out of the 4 models you posted. I and most kansas drifters run feds

speedgod^s13 · 07-19-2011, 12:50 AM

From what i've heard, Sunny's give a lot of road noise, but they are usually pretty cheap. I run Federal 595 Super Steels, and only have a small stretch, but they look pretty nice. For the price, I can't complain, and i'd buy them again, with no hesitation.

s14j · 07-19-2011, 01:22 AM

i just got federals 595 and there great!

sunny are ehh but they are nosier,

i think for the price fedies are great.
go with them.

JDMStanced · 07-19-2011, 01:27 AM

you guys really like fed huh lol
Anyone have a hook up on these tires?
i know a place that sells sunny but not sure about fed.

Mikey McFly · 07-19-2011, 01:28 AM

Sunny's were no good for me. At least for wet roads in Florida. I haven't tried the Feddies but I hear a lot of good things about them. Also, they run a bit bigger than most other companies.

SBCsx · 07-19-2011, 02:11 AM

Federals SS595 I really think its the most bang for the buck and they do run a little big.

i mean 235/35/19 is exactly the one i'm looking for. How much bigger are the fed to others?

Couldn't be by much probably not even noticeable if you ask me!

JDMStanced · 07-19-2011, 02:43 AM

will there be a big difference in overall height between 215/35/19 and 245/35/19 on same 9" rims?

Quail · 07-19-2011, 03:23 AM

215 has a 75.25mm sidewall, 245 has a 85.75mm sidewall.

*DJPimpFlex* · 07-19-2011, 03:49 AM

Federals run wide, IE a 225 federal is like a 235 every other brand. Also they are great for drifting for the money and THIS HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT BEFORE.

I have the SN3800s and can cosign this, they are LOUD on the road, but have always done me well in the NC rain (and even snow once), not bad for tires I only paid 70 each a year and a half ago.

ayuaddict · 07-19-2011, 05:27 AM

Sunnys and Federals tend to stretch out the entire sidewall instead of pushing the bead out. And as previously stated they run on the wider side so if you are looking to get a 235/35/19 in say, Falken FK size, get a 225/35.

Achilles stretch nicely and quite a bit.

As far as quality goes, don't expect any kind of decent grip out of any of those tires.

P.S. Your screen name is so stancenation its not even canibeat anymore.

illvialuver · 07-19-2011, 10:46 AM

federals are called fateralls for a reason. And achiles do stretch well.

azndoc · 07-19-2011, 10:50 AM

Hit up City Tires for the Feds.

whiterps13 · 07-19-2011, 11:01 AM

CITY TIRE ONLINE

JDMStanced · 07-19-2011, 11:02 AM

ayuaddict · 07-19-2011, 11:59 AM

Canibeat sucks 30% more cock than Stancenation.

JDMStanced · 07-19-2011, 12:07 PM

is there a tire shop near irvine that sells fed, and achilles?

S14kouki_10 · 07-19-2011, 12:08 PM

federals suck on wet roads.

deolio · 07-19-2011, 12:21 PM

i've had the feddys and the achilles. the feddys were a tad bit better and lasted longer when drifting.

check out the internet. they have all kinds of deals.

JDMStanced · 07-19-2011, 12:24 PM

considering falken fk 452 too.
i've been searching for a long time. lol

deolio · 07-19-2011, 12:45 PM

fk452's are terrible for their price.

go to https://www.onlinetires.com/

or look around some local used tire shops. usually have way better tires than any you have listed for crazy cheap.

*!Zar!* · 07-19-2011, 12:51 PM
