225/45R15
Star spec or rs3?
Mostly spirited driving, no track.
How many miles are you all getting on those sets of tires?

[IRON-E]

My buddy dailies on a set of star specs. Haven't heard any bad reviews.
I think RS3 are a little more sportier, can't remember exactly and I was shopping for like 2 months for tires.

I was on Gforce rivals and I liked those but they did seem to wear quite fast. Didn't even count the mileage on them, what I did notice is that the area between the tread and sidewall seem to be cracking almost peeling, no bueno. Star specs are 22$+ than the RS3's.

Edit: star specs only come in 205/50r15. So no 225/45r15 in those.

I wonder if they rode away like this.

The day I learned to ride:


Who says you have to buy a minivan to have kids?


Vietnam equivalent of ice road truckers:

oh wow, you're getting close to shipping out huh?

Nov 15 is the leave date!

I think it was a early 2000's Ninja, not the 250, a bigger one. The experience was years ago so I don't remember everything.

Pics of 02?

Poor photo, but you get the idea:

Engine sat where the transmission tunnel is, demolished oil pan, shattered transmission housing and internals and broken to bits driveshaft. The differential was completely missing, rear tires were bald and that whole frame buckled.

Probably granny shifting when they should have been double clutching.

See if they have 225/50/15 in star specs, I think they do.

Ed, that car looks like it was going freeway speeds and whatever he/she hit wasn't moving at all

I just googled for those and I came up empty.

Sure does, hopefully those people made it out ok.

Viet Nam is dope, I don't think I could ride or drive there though

fwiw I just got a set of rs3 in that size and like them so far, just drove la-sf and back, mix of the 1, 101, and 5. Went down Latigo on my way out, felt great, nice and sticky. Road noise on the highway? I couldn't tell, on account of being deaf from keeping the windows down (a/c? who has that?).

I got the size mixed up. They offer a 205/55/15 for $82/each and thats a size thats almost an exact match for the OEM size. Any reason you want something wider? They are great tires that should be more than able to handle your spirited driving

First ones but in 55, not 50. 55 series on a 15 will keep your speedo as accurate as they were from the factory

I love it there. Riding is a fun experience, especially in the two big cities, driving is instant homocide.

I have 245/45 RS2s on my e30 and they are slick as hell when cold. I can slide the back end out easier than any other set I've had on 16s.

[Chilezen]

Pretty 02 Mike! I'm no expert, but is it missing a front bumper? How's the interior?

[mkcman17]

thanks! i had the front shaved off when it was painted, i just put a new carpet in it last month and some beat up recaros.

[MrBurgundy]

I keep having dreams that someone stole my dashboard from my e30... WTF IS THE MEANING OF THESE DREAMS?!
