Default Re: INCREASE YOUR SHIFTING TIME!!!!!! 4 FREE

Deciding on what tires to get when i get my rims. If i want 215/40/R16 it'll be p zeros and if i just go with 205/45/R16 it'll be the paradas. Is it better to have a wider tire? And has anyone heard anything about those Fuzion tires?

I had the original paradas on my tib when I first went to 16s... I traded up from them to the Potenze RE750... there was a night and day difference. The potenze was better in the wet, stuck like crazy in the dry, and was REALLY quiet.

I am looking at the Perelli next. The P zero Nero M&S is out.. an all seaon tire (availible in 205/45/16) that is supposed to be better than my RE750s...

do a comparision on tirerack.com you might be surprised.

Tank, the wider tire will help you with acceleration and cornering BUT on the downside, you will add a little weight to your tire/wheel. Depending on the brand of tire, the weight difference between a 205 to 215 can be around 1 to 2lbs per tire--depending on the tire.

they are not a bad tire... but they are not designed for any kind of real inclimate weather... except maybe rain. If you drive the car all year in all weather.. The P zero Nero is the tire for you.. that fact that it out performs dedicated summer tyres is the icing on the cake.

Default Re: Idle problems......

wow you guys go for some PRICEY tires... tires are great and all but really...do you need something that extreme for daily driving? i'm turbo charged...go to the track regurally and drive like a mad man and i only have dunlop sp sport fm901's. They work great... a 200 treadwear... low but not too low...really sticky...if i heat up the tires... then let em kool i'll have rocks and sand EMBEDED into the tread. Great for daily driving...nice and sticky... and pretty damn cheap... i bought my 215/40/17's for 80 bucks a piece... they retail for like 95 off tirerack.com and they're pretty decent in the rain...not bad defintly better than the POS nankangs i use to have

I take this tack... no matter what I do to the car.. wether it be engine work, suspension, or brakes... it all depends on those four SMALL patches of rubber that touch the road to make it all happen.

Make no mistake; tires are the most important thing on the car; always buy the best that you can.
Anyway to answer your question; Pirelli!!!!!! :twisted:
-They Pzero are the best tires in their class along with Dunlop SportMaxx (EU model)
