too bad all the tire shops are closed - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

MakotoS13 · 05-20-2005, 05:42 PM

discounttiredirect got me these hoes in like 3 days.

edit: got a whole set for just under 400. shipping and tax jacked up the price.

yay, now i won't spin halfway through first!

s14turbosilvia · 05-20-2005, 05:56 PM

your old tires do look pretty shot. how much total with shipping and all that?

sdtouge · 05-20-2005, 07:03 PM

damn those look sick!
what size did you get? i was about to order a pair through them too but then they were liek with shipping and tax so i was over it.

good job tohugh for getting them. let us know how they are?

wootwoot · 05-20-2005, 07:07 PM

Tire Kingdom is open until 8pm as well as Sears. That means you still have some time left! Since when do you spin through first?...

Pank · 05-20-2005, 07:09 PM

you cant spin halfway through first? I can even do that on my Previa

haha with my tornado superchargeR dawg! nah, they're just slick as hell tires i got from johny5 and now since im about to start driving the car regularly it needs some good tread.

yeah, the clutch fan removal and intake let lose like 150hp... w00t!

p.s. they're only 205/55/16's and they look fuggin mean. if they work out well i'll run them on my good rims when i upgrade that area. for now i'm not makin enough power to warrant larger rims in the rear.

Ian · 05-20-2005, 10:52 PM

i think the SE wheels look good on the S13 though. Those tires are nice, i'd get a set myself but i'm broke as crap.

Drunk Bastard · 05-20-2005, 11:16 PM

damn, what exhaust is that Makoto?

OptionZero · 05-20-2005, 11:20 PM

running that exact same size and wheel ...held up pretty well at the track, but they did start bubbling after each session. Great tires, they need to keep 'em in pro duction! Unbeatable for the price.

infinitexsound · 05-21-2005, 12:29 AM

ahhhh durrr................... makoto go do donuts with the tires now.... before u replace it.. lets see some oakland sideshow in texas... LOL

TurDz · 05-21-2005, 12:39 AM

nice find!! I bought my set at discounttire too for a mere 350.

great tire. don't you love the smell of new rubber? mmm...they feel soft like R compounds too..

ZK · 05-21-2005, 12:57 AM

I got two of them for the front of my car... I'd have gotten them all around but they don't make the rear size.

kazuo · 05-21-2005, 01:20 AM

Dang, shipping & tax eats ass.. those should only cost you like $325 (give or take $10) out the door on the rims.

'Cause thats what it costs out here. (assuming you dont go to like... Sears or Wheelworks)

Good tires tho.

Johny5 · 05-21-2005, 07:38 AM

yeah yeah doug but those front tires were still good right? they looked pretty agressive imo.

Ian · 05-21-2005, 09:08 AM

i'd say keep the old tires as fresh as possible and sell them to a drifter...they buy tires as fast as the crackheads sell them.

*Jeff240sx* · 05-21-2005, 09:46 AM

Those the tires that are OEM for the SRT-4? They look real familiar.

They're Azenis Sports, you gotta know that!

Ritz S14 · 05-21-2005, 10:37 AM

Tires are very nice, side walls are stupid stiff. I dislike mounting those tires on the old school tire machines though.

its my understanding that they have no wet or snow traction so i doubt they'd come on any production car.

johny- the fronts have lots of traction left they're just too wide so i'm putting them on my starion 16x7's so i can have a spare.. or two.

ya know, that is if the guys at walmart don't screw up all my tires and rims with their collective 70 iq. the chick was watchin a guy struggle to get one on and is like "well he's gotta learn sometime"....

yeah, and if he screws up my tires i have to wait another week for walmart to replace whatever is damaged. i wanted to deck her.

OptionZero · 05-21-2005, 11:22 AM

yeah, and good luck to walmart on FINDING another set of RT-215's...they're low stock everywhere!

S14DriftR · 05-21-2005, 02:39 PM

very nice. Nothing brings me more pleasure than mounting wheels with brand new tires at the track with the stickers still on the rubber and destroying them in a couple hours.

THESE are made for sticking. now when i launch i hear "chirp chirp" then vrooooooooooooom "chirp". hehe. when i get a good diff the shizzle will be off the hizzle.

im thinking quaife.

Var · 05-21-2005, 03:01 PM

quaife=waste of money. you can get the same performance from a s15hlsd for around 500 bucks

get a 1.5 way Kaaz or an S15 HLSD or a welded diff.

My tires are not for sticking alot of the time, but when i turn i also hear this "chirp chirp" as you describe it, hmmmmm...........

wootwoot · 05-21-2005, 05:54 PM
