In his defense I am just looking for fronts.

MadScientist · 02-23-2009, 07:10 PM

IMO....

Pirelli P-Zero line-up is so so... They last but grip is hit and miss for me on street.

The older (discontinued) Yoka ES100 are loud... annoying loud... rebound is good for street but sidewalls give on track. These were replaced by the current S-drives. I have ES100 on the back of the S14 right now... ready for a victory run once the car is done... I hope they boil like crawfish!!

Advan Neovas on the Front of S14 for the insane grip... I want to try the A048s.

Have Direzza DZ101 on the EVO... must say they are respectable on street.

I got my 215/40-17s from CITYTIREONLINE.COM

*slider2828* · 02-24-2009, 11:33 AM

$130 for StarSpecs 235/40/17 from tire rack...

Oh for the RE01R's, call them... they have more sizes than the website. I was so surprised!

captainfalco · 02-24-2009, 12:22 PM

I got 2 235/40r17 and 2 255/40r17 for like $430 shipped. Told you guys there was a screamin deal on the re01r's.

SoSideways · 02-24-2009, 03:21 PM

I tried to buy some RE01Rs on their site today in 235/40/17 and they said they had no more, and I couldn't do it.

*handinpants* · 02-24-2009, 04:04 PM

for drift just buy a tire with a high treadwear number. jeeez, if you get azeni's with a 60 treadwear rating, your giving money away, and if you are giving money away mypaypal address is [email protected] so send some my way

DeadlyZ33 · 02-24-2009, 05:14 PM

any advice for drifting 19's? damn the z33's huge wheels arches..
my rears cost $220 each and are on their way out, need something cheap I can buy a few sets of..
35/265 or around there would work..

Unless you want more grip and smoke...

also higher performance tires usually handle heat better and chunk less.

I ordered 2 255's and they called me today saying they were on backorder and they wouldn't be able to ship them til like march 6-10th. The guy said they would be getting another shipment in from bridgestone still.

*slider2828* · 02-24-2009, 08:44 PM

Yup! That was it! Guy was cool too

SoSideways · 02-25-2009, 06:55 AM

Yeah I thought about it, and since my car's a daily still, I'd rather go with DZ101s for now, since I can get them again, and Tire Rack is having a $50 mail in rebate dealio when you buy a set of 4 DZ101 or 4 Z1 Star Spec.

DZ101 in 215/40/17 and 235/40/18 here I come!!

Matej · 03-03-2009, 09:04 PM

What are the quietest tires to drift on, and which tires make the least amount of smoke?

I want my car to be like the scene from Tokyo Drift where the girls drift down the mountain in the morning while making idle conversation.

Marcus · 03-03-2009, 10:40 PM

^^ duh the roads were wet. lol jk

anyone have any experience with stretching bridgestone runflats? i got a bomb fckin deal on some. NORMALLY, a 225/40-18 will stretch perfectly/easily over 10s. what about those runflats? the sidewalls are SSUUPPERR stiff.

and how are they for drifting on rear?

ROIDMONKEY · 03-03-2009, 10:45 PM

my experience

been running FALKEN RT615 for over a year and they r so so. grip is not that good(505WHP) running 275 rears . then i tried ADVAN AD07 and big different . this grip much better but double the price of the falken .

I ordered online but they've yet to cancel my order; hopefully it's a good sign.

If you read the thread, call them.... Ordering only does nothing as their stuff is not up to date. I just got my 255 40 17 in today.... Gotta go to UPS. They have it, call them.

captainfalco · 03-05-2009, 02:13 PM

The Tire Rack told me they wouldn't ship until the 2'nd or 3rd week of march. I got them tuesday and I already have them mounted!

*slider2828* · 03-05-2009, 02:22 PM

Yup +1 for tire rack, but you have to call...

I have been through about 20 sets of feddy 595s and they have always worn evenly and make good smoke and have decent grip???? don't know how people are having problems with them I have had them in both 17's and 18's I am going to continue rocking these in the rear.

Although I am going to get some RT615's up front or something grippier because I foudn the 595's to be understeer city. I don't get how guys on here are saying that tires with 360 tread wear are grippy tires???
