I have to agree with this post. My mom has the Turanza ER33 on her IS though, so I'll be keeping a close eye on her tire condition to verify the treadwear rating.

 

Bridgestone does some strange things. I had a set of RE011's (140 treadwear) on a Saabaru. Lots of grip, yet lots of squish in the sidewalls. Wierd tire.

 

Spoke with them today... Told me the widest rim you can get for the RX8 is a 18x7.5... (kinda funny seeing as stock is 18x8 lol)

I'm looking at purchasing (2) 18x8.5 rims for the front and (2) 18x9.5 rims for the rear... Both with a +35 offset... I've been told these will fit without a problem, is this true?


They absolutely will not ship to Canada, which sucks, but I have a place they can be sent to in the states where I can pick them up (about 45 mins away)

 

Tires delivered yesterday; hopefully I'll have them installed in a few days

 

Ja, lets us know what you think of the tires.

 

Hoping to get them mounted this week so I can take the RX-8 up the coast next weekend. LOTS of open road and twisties; about 600 miles round trip.

 

Yee Haw! Zoom Zoom

 

your local guy can beat $145 for falken azenis rt615? 275/40/17 ???

 

Just wanted to add tirerack is selling the Potenza S-03 Pole Position 225/45-18 for $125 ea. haven't see it mentioned even if the rep. told me that they have been on sale since Sept., anyway picked up a set. I don't think you can go wrong at that price!

 

JUST got my Toyo's installed; this tires are sexy. (and the grip is amazing)

 

good deals...just ordered some falkens. and they are gonna be coming with some random crappy gift.

this place is one of the best places to get good deals on the falkens.

good goin jedi.

 

just put 250 miles of twisties on my Toyo's. I think I'm going to be very pleased with these

 

wtf you drove 250 miles today? just because, or was a trip involved?

 

Just cus

 

haha, that's how it's done!

 

That's what a sports car is all about...... driving and having fun!

 

yup!
I'll put another 250-300 miles on her tomorrow.

 

Give me a call. We can go togeather...

ahh.. if you can keep up!

 

they are still at $154 and i need new summer tires. i just ordered the mazsport ignition and 4 tires will set me back $600. :/ ugh.. i need to think through purchases more. immagoneedajobsoon.

-_-

anyway.. the t1r = good from what i've taken in from you guys. and $154 is a really nice price. so.. final question. im pretty sure 245s will fit on the stock wheels, but uh. can i get one final confirmation please?

 

YEAH, 245, 40, 18 is a GREAT size for our cars. (it's what I've been running on my last 2 sets)

 

ordered.

$650 poorer now.



i wont even be able to use them until mid march. lol.

 

T1R > RT615? I thought it was the other way around.

 

any time frame on the sale, i want a set but it wont be till after jan...they are local too...if they have an actual shop setup i wouldnt mind checkin em out for you guys if i find time soon.

 

Edge Racings website says:
Not sure if they mean the sale is over as of Midnight, December 31st, 2007... Or January 2nd... I thought they said the 2nd on the phone when I made my purchase, but I can't remember....

I've seen that their prices have actually gone up for some products since I purchased my rims on the December 20th (Same rim jumped $50 while still on sale)

 

update: I've put about 2,500 miles on the Toyos and I'm super thrilled with them so far. Grip is amazing (FAR superior to OEM), they're very quite, and I don't think the sidewalls are as soft as some were implying.

Damn, now they're up to $197 per tire.
