Shit...

Got a flat, dropped the rim on its face, then kicked it on concrete. Scratched it a bit...

On my skinny spare tire now... a freaking Federal 595 205.

Tire shopping here I come.

~Cheers~

I found some Potenza S-03s!!

Glad to finally be able to go back to one of my favourite tires! I've contacted the guy to see what he can do for shipping them over here but he hasn't replied yet so I've got my fingers crossed.

Found a new deck that I want, too. Only CD and tape FTW!

~Cheers~

Well, the S-03s fell through. I'm on some T1S' for the time being.

The deck was a McIntosh, .

~Cheers~

P.S. Are you selling your wheels?

I threw mine away, but I have a 3., remember? I was wondering because I have a friend with a 1G CL and he might be interested in some wheels.

~Cheers~

I am really looking for the 2.5TL wheels. I know 1g CL fit but I like how the 2.5TLs look. Let me know if you know someone!

Thanks, man..

A little question. I currently have 215-55-16. I am planning to go 205 for next set. What size sidewall should I get to maintain the comfort level where I am right now. Would 60 work? 205-60-16???



How are General Altimax HP, grand touring all seasons??

The stock tire size on 2.5's is 205/60/15

Why do you want to go to a 205 versus 215?

I heard the Generals are pretty good. I run yokohamas on the TL and just put on some continentals on the RL. I love the continentals and the price was pretty close.

Right now your speedometer shows that you're going 0.7% faster vs. stock size. If you want to be as close to stock as possible using 16's/205 then you need a 60 side wall and your speedometer will read 0.75% slower.

Generals are pretty decent; I got some Exclaim UHP's I know that these are summer tires but have a 380 threadwear rating which is pretty good for a summer tire. They are pretty cheap and I have literally no wheel-spin in dry conditions, but then again my car's slow as shit...

3.2 have same size tires, too. I want to go back to stock size for little better gas mileage.

Thanks for the info. I was confused with the number. You cleared that confusion. Thanks.
