Hey Guys,
As I'm nearing completion of my fuel system resto on my teener...I'm faced with the choice of tires, as the first stop for me is going to be discount tire for a balancing; as the car shimmies when I get around 65 mph, then a trip to gashead motorworks for an alignment, as it pulls to the right. I was thinking, since I'm at DT, mayhaps I should put some new shoes on there. I HATE the tires on the teener, they are 185 65 R15's from god knows who...they say HR metric. They have ZERO grip and I've almost spun the car twice because of their utter lack of traction...and my utter lack of skill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/owned.gif) I'd like some recommendations from you guys...I was thinking of some Falken Azenis in 205 50 r 15's, but I've found on here that they are so small the engine is really revved up on the highway, and I would like to take the car to galveston a few times, and screaming engines on the highway would get annoying, as houston highway speeds are in the 80's. Any recommendations for me that DONT involve flares, 5 lugs, or prayers to Ra, god of the sun? Having a somewhat accurate speedo would be nice... I'm running stock 15X5.5 Mahle's with a 2 inch drop. This car is unlikely to see a whole lot of track time until I put my dual 40's on it... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Let you in on one of the best kept 'open' secrets around.
FUZION HRi's cannot be beat - the wet traction is astounding, the road noise about completely vanishes away - they wear like iron when the alignment is in - and they are only 45 bucks each from tire rack. How do i know? 1. I am an ASE master tech with Toyota and this is what we are turning our customers on to - they are PROVEN! 2. I have them on both my teener and my pontiac everyday driver - they are quiet and grip like a cat on carpet. 3. I have 52,000 miles on my pontiac ones and still have 63% tread remaining. 4. I live in SoFl where a rain storm means 2-4 inches will drop in about 30 minutes and I have NEVER had a hydroplane issue - NEVER 5. They are a new company formed by Bridgestone - after the firestone debacle Bridgestone took all their best talent and formed a new company "FUZION" to rebuild firestone (lost revenue cause everybody does not trust them anymore)from within, by providing the baddest ass tires at the deepest discounts imaginable - they succeeded!! 6. Just go to tirerack.com and read what 1000's of others have to rave about these tires - I have some posts on there as well --- One of the very few best ever investments I have ever made. I took a chance on them when they first came to market. I was very low on funds and had fingers crossed - never looking back. Every car from here on out will be equipped!! The ZR series are "SUMMER" only and have nearly zero traction when freezing, snow, and in many cases, wet. They are a ultra performance DRY tire only. |
