are they really that good and great, im having a hard time deciding

i want something that performs, something reliable, and something that is going to hold up to my expectations and not make me look like an a$$.

i like my nankangs because they grip very well in the rain and i can push the limits of my car with no doubt in my mind that i will hydroplane.

Nitto's are on the top of the list, NT 555's to be exact. My dad had these on his s type R and these are extremely durable and perform to expectaion.

I have always loved Toyo, but I'm not to keen on performance and durability.

Lastly I have been considering Good Year eagle f 1's, my dad currently has thes and i must say that they are very sticky, very quite and they seem to last pretty long.

I have riden on Pirelli, Cooper, Contenental, Yokohama and these rubbers seem to be really soft and wear fast.

Any help and adviced with my top options I have listed will be appreciated :D

 

I've had my f1's on for 24k and they're still have tread on them, new tires are coming mad soon though. when i left the tire shop i felt like i was on air, idk if that's new tires should feel (stock brigdes#!ts didn't) as this was my first car, but i love my f1's.

i'm looking at the BFGs, Falken 452 or the F1's again.

oh and yoko's are noisy as heck, sticky though

 

i heard falken 452's are really good, but may go with the f1's hmmm...

 

i'm not trying to sway you, just posting up my experience that's all. so you've heard falken is good as far as long life goes??

 

oh im not sure about long tread life, but i hear they are sticky and responsive,

like i said my dad currently has the f1's and i ride almost daily in his car so i know those perform, they even have like carbon fiber in them or something from what ive read

 

cf??

nice "jdm" wheels, LMAO

 

no im serious,

Two carbon fiber reinforced sidewalls help keep the shoulders firmly planted on the road for crisp responsiveness and maneuverability.

 

i know some liked the falkens cause of their thick sidewalls and stretched design that could handle wearing from the camber with that JDM look. but they have since redesigned them.

 

i highly recommend Falken Ziex 512's if you want max mileage and the stretched look. I'm on my 3rd set and bought them for my wife's car as well. I dont know anything about the Falken 452 since theyre somewhat new. Toyo Proxes are a good balance between performance, mileage, and stretch-ability.

 

what about Nitto Neogen's??? I was looking at those and heard they were pretty nice...

 

i have the 452's and they SUCK.

i have had them on for maybe 5k miles, and the fronts are practically bald on the inner tire... my fault i know, bad toe!!

however, even after they were broken in they never got the traction i was looking for, they are decent no doubt, but i wanted a more sportier tire.. i didnt go with the azenis because they have HORRIBLE tread wear, and they dont come in my size.

 

for what you pay the Ziex 512s are descent, and they LOVE stetch, which is great for those who have some wide wheels and don't want to rub, but if you want performance, I've heard great things about the new Ziex 912s, Only issue i have with them are they don't stretch well due to a re-enforced sidewall, but if your looking for a good daily tire and don't need a stretch then go with the 912s

 

i just took off my wheels, and put my stockies back on, i forgot how light they are, and i feel faster and feel the pull lol.

down side, i hate the yoks, my rears are bald. i will see what i do in a couple weeks, im considering aftermarket 17's now, i went with 18's fro show i guess, hadnt realized how heavy they are.

 

then you might like the konig feathers.
how heavy were your 18s?

 

im also thinking the same maybe to get a better and more comfy ride with more rubber? Havent made up my mind yet?

 

omg pretty heavy, i hadnt realized just how much, isay more than 25 give or take

 

i thought the emx weighd around the same as the 17's, im probably wrong tho huh?

im thinking about 5zigen 5zr's which for 18s weigh 25 each

or

5zeigen sport engine that weight 22 each for 18's

 

gramlights 57c are lighter!!!

I think they weigh about 17(give or take)for the 18 inch, not sure though check it first!

 

i dot like the design

 

Does ANYONE have WedsSport SA-70 wheels? I have a limited time to get a set at a good deal and I might take up the offer, but I want to see what they look like on a tC. Thanks in advance!

I tried the search and used a variety of keywords, but nothing came up. I'm hoping someone has them, but just didn't post pics for one reason or another.
