FRS style. Prius tires to make sliding easier.

 

Donuts for the win. Cluelessk meet Jon, Jon meet cluelessk! Lol.

 

Lol. I've met him at a meet. Gave me SS.net decals.

 

 

I have the nttio nt555's and they are are big upgrade over those **** conti's.

 

Awesome. You've just confirmed it. I'm getting it.

edit. 225 or 235?

 

Not sure if arguing or being Jon.

Nt555's are great, Discounttiredirect.com is the cheapest price i have found (back in the day)

Also, S-drives if you put on big boy pants and want big boy tires.

S-drives are by far the best streetable tire, aside from the expensive star specs.

 

I was just trying to explain my reasoning to Jon. He seems convinced that just wear rating will determine level of grip.

And thanks for the Discount Tire info. It's slightly cheaper than the price I found on Summit.

 

Might as well go 235 while you're in there.

 

I'm pretty sure they are 235's but I bought them over 2 years ago and mary jane's ruined my memory.
Ill check when I go out in the barn next lol

 

and star specs look so nice and chunky compared to the s drives.
But how about some Toyo r888's?

 

Definitely a sexy tire with a not so sexy price tag

 

My friend just bought a set of Advan AD48's they're almost slicks.

 

You have it backwards;
They made tires for Continental - Tires left their plant with the Continental name, and adhering to their stringent quality standards.

It's your call, but from my observations any company starting out or ttrying to get market share generally needs to start out by undercutting competition to get a name for yourself before you can charge top dollar...

Considering what I read on the company, and the apparent fact tgat they have good market share in Australia, and the UK, in addition to them starting out as a product line starting in '05 - This is a chance I'm willing to take.

 

nope not trying to argue - just convey my personal logic.

 

oh no, I wasn't trying to say that;
but the tread rating will play into it, as it's likely indicative as to the rubber compound used in the tire - the "grip" will be a factor of the rubber compound as well as the tread design/depth.

I'm glad I could help you.

 

I am pretty sure he was referring to my help jon

So are you defending Conti Jon?

 

ok... my bad.

 

Well boys rims are ordered. now gotta wait 2 weeks for them.. What are the chances of all the snow melting by then.

 

More like even if there is no snow what are the chances of you putting them on in 2 weeks and us getting another blizzard or two. Very good. Happens to me every year lol.

 

Jealous. I'd love to order rims but you need to spend big bucks to get anything that's actually that much better than the stock TC rim.

 

I'd say... ZILCH

 

It's true. If I could find a cheap set of TC wheels I would probably scoop em up and powdercoat them for something different and better.

 

Buy me a set of M52's and I'll give you my rims. Haha.

 

That doesn't work out to a cheap set of wheels lol.
