    I hear that a lot. I was tempted to get them for another set of wheels I have to install, street usage only. Is it that annoying, or do you only notice it when you're really punishing them?

      So ES100's fit? I'll probably go for them, just because I can get them for < $100 CAD a piece because I go through rear tires at an alarming rate :o. Must be the drifting in industrial parks :twisted:.


      Keep it slideways!!

        Yeah, the Yokes are fine. The squared 70's-style shoulders let them run very narrow.

          i'm going for good budget tires now anyway. The roads in K/W suck so much ass, that my friend ruptured a cord in his tire. I can acutally see it kink into the sidewall. Brand new michelin pilots that he paid big bucks for. Playing "dodge the pothole" with 17 wheels is out of the question, that's why I'm settling for Ronals, more sidewall.

              So would 225/50/15 Toyo T1-S work on ronals or not?

                I only notice it when trying to corner fast. Once the side walls are loaded up, the tires are great, but it takes way to long for that process to happen. Sometimes the transition from hard cornering to a straight line can be uneasy, as the side walls like to "spring" back into place.

                  LOL, thanks for the 4-month-later reply. I actually bought them 2 months ago, mounted them on the RS' in my sig. I auto-xed on them last weekend, they are friggin awesome tires.
