someone had to try them out! i ordered 4 nankang R compound tires

cluelessk

Awesome. Thinking I'm gonna go the same route. Which treadwear did you get?

nathan112i

i went with the 120, i have never been big on the idea of Taiwanese/Chinese tires but they less then half the price of a nitto nt01 so why not give it a shot

nathan112i

also i emailed cananawheels and they will not be getting them back in stock until april and the price will be going up to 175. i ordered off of another canadian site that has free shipping, they were a tad more expensive

Fort Rouge Autobody on Pembina just did a **** load of MPI work on my Balt and did an amazing job. Very happy.

cluelessk

Which supplier did you go with?

My local shop said he could get me 235/40/18 with the 180 treadware for $190 a tire mounted and balanced.

Me and a buddy are both about to order a set.

nathan112i

aweside motorsport. it is 171 each free shipping so probably easier to just get them locally

cluelessk

Found the same site. Might as well support local and not deal with shipping.

Looked at costco and a set off 4 Bridge stone potenzas re 11's after discount and install 844.96. Just not a member guess i would need to get my brother to do it.

I've heard they have great warranty but they void it if you get tires that aren't OEM spec to the wheels.

Well looks like I may have fixed my water meth lol. Connected the solenoid wires wrong so the solenoid was always open defeating the purpose of the solenoid . So fixed the wiring went for a drive and it all worked as advertised. While doing the test drive on the charleswood parkway a WRX pulled up beside me and we went for it. he got the jump but i pulled him in. we talked at the next light and he said he just got it and it was all stock a 2011.

Also got my hydrosheild on. just in time for all these puddles and lakes.

I have also noticed a sound lately so i chased it down today and it looks like my exhaust pipe between the DP and cat back is loose. So got get that fixed asap. couldn't do it today so I will do it tomorrow. Any ways felt good to work on the car with the nicer weather.

This is not true, it is up to the discretion of the installer (or manager) if they install them. I'm sure they would say no to crazy stretched tires (as most shops would) but they have not said anything about 10-20mm wider for me.

"Standard Tire Installation
If you are purchasing a tire using an option other than the "search by vehicle option" you must make sure the tire you purchase is an authorized fitment for your vehicle. Costco will only install tires authorized for a specific vehicle. If you are unsure if your purchase is an authorized fitment, contact your local Costco Tire Centre for assistance. "


Actually when I purchased my RE71-R tires I was questioned if I was sure (due to low the tread wear). Then me and the guy talked about autocross and our cars (he had a WRX) lol

cluelessk

Guys on Top Tier had different experiences

wiebe204

Guys on top tier stretch 195 tires on 10" rims lol.

But I found the thread where one person said they were "reluctant if not impossible" however he did not say how far from OEM size he went/wanted.

Nice work mike. Must have been dry or he would have pulled you till 100k lol. Your car is making some good power!

I think those bolts are about 3/4 if I recall correctly. Just a two bolt ok the lsj right?
