discount tires rebate. WOOP!

[FredK]

whatever, i do what i want. mine shipped today, they should be here tomorrow. i'll try and do a comparo for you.

Too late. I ordered them. I'll be out tonight, looking for fuzzy lil' kittens to capture. I will punch them in their face if I see ANY stretch. jk

Unfortunately they're prob gonna ship from AZ. Which is like FOREVER from Massachusetts. Boo.

Also, they never had 225/50R15 RS2s, even though Hankook makes that size.

Edge Racing has 'em in that size, but G-force Sports are better gripwise. 350$ for a set with the discount sounds excellent to me. Sad that that's what I paid for them when they first came out w/o a discount.

I will never buy Ziex 512s again. Good grip for an allseason but they whine like a little bitch when taking any corner at a spirted pace. And they didnt last much longer than the RS2s or Gforce sports either.

i got my numbas from their sites.

falkens in 215 have 8.4" section width, 8.0" tread width
hankooks in 225 have 8.9" section width, 8.0" tread width.

whatever, i do what i want. mine shipped today, they should be here tomorrow. i'll try and do a comparo for you.

e30sd where'd you hear that 215 width RT615s have the same contact patch as 225 width RS2s? RS2s run wide to begin with... are you talking about contact patch area or width?

If I order these and my 16x8s look stretched, I'll kill a small kitten.

I'd consider 215/40 to be a better size on a 17" wheel.

I thougth so too

A 205/45/17 will give you the proper stock tire diameter and will fit a 17x7. You can also use 215/40/17, but it will be slightly undersized.

I have 215/40/17 and they look fine.

[Jonathan M3]

width is 7" . so the best wud be 195/45 right?

[damith]

absolutely none of those

Depending on how wide the 17" wheel is, you will want a 40 profile, you may be able to get away with 195/45, otherwise, 205/40, 215/40, 225/40.

DAM. They USED to have 225/45R16 RS2s, but stopped carrying them. Also, they never had 225/50R15 RS2s, even though Hankook makes that size.

I wonder what 215s look like on a 16x8 wheel...

[Jonathan M3]

Stock size for basketweaves is 195/65R14, right?

Yes, however 205/60/14 works well.
