discount tires rebate. WOOP!

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.

[MR 325]

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

I thougth so too

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.

[e30sd]

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.

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.

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.

They are just a cheap set of tires to keep the sticky tires away ;)

[MR 325]

Fucking assholes raised their prices, I think that was the whole reason for the sale, so nobody would notice. The tire my buddy was looking at 3 days ago was $5 more today when he ordered.

Oh well.

[Brew]

Thanks for the heads up.
Just ordered a set of 225/45-15 Nitto NT-01's! They ought to fit nice on the 15x8 Slipstreams.

Hmm, that is a pretty good way to hide that fact...

just got 195/60-14 azenis for $204
and 205/45-16 ziex for $160

8-)

[sumyungguy]

Just ordered some 205/60-14 for $140.. even if they raised the prices a bit, your still getting a good deal.

[Mystikal]

Mother fucker, no free shipping to me up here. This deal is useless, fuck all of you.

[chasiubao]

any idea when discount tires direct will do this again?

I missed the deal, I'm bummed but didn't need tires then. With new rims on the way I do now. Good thing is I can wait for a while. Anyone have any idea when this deal is coming around if ever again and what the window is October for 2 weeks etc.?
