Shopping around for tires on the Datsun and found these... haha

Is it me or is that expensive for a small tire?

I had these on my 350Z, seems like those 14's are comparably expensive.

It is, but it's also hard to find good performance street tires for a 14"

[parkerbink]

Good point.

Tire rack has them for cheaper, not sure how shipping factors into it. Ive also heard mixed reviews about the Azenis tires.

Its not a 250bhp car so its not a huge deal but Id like to drive this car at the limit so I know tires are always important. I trust the Dunlops already. Im still shopping, its not a rush

Also, there are R888 in 205/55/14 but they arent available right now. That would be the ultimate street tire for the roadster haha WOT everywhere!!

Tire Rack charges $15-30 per tire for shipping, depending on size (weight) and warehouse proximity. You can also order from your local brick and mortar Discount Tire, and they'll price match.

Well to be fair, there will be mixed reviews for pretty much every 200tw tire. I've had three sets myself, and the two Chump teams I've driven for run them.

We're trying the Maxxis VR-1 at VIR next month.

Between those two, Rival-S is the better AutoX tire; Azenis is the better road course tire.

Good to know, I've tried neither at autox or road course. I've only ran the dz2s and liked them initially, but after they lost half their tread the grip fell off substantially. I'll be moving to r888s now that I street drive the car far less

205 is a pretty big tire for the Datsun no?

What's the biggest tire that will fit on a 14" basketweave without fender rolling?

Yea a 195 is probably the best width for them, but you are fairly limited on overall options

anyone still alive here?

I haven't been on here nearly as much as I want to be!
I'm going to Vegas this week to compete in a dance competition. Bringing my girlfriend with me. Where should we go for the nightlife? We're staying at the Bellagio.

Damn Magic Mike, you got a new career brewing ?
