Default Just ordered my new tires from tire rack ( NEW PICS )

Hey I just ordered my tires again from tire rack !! This make three sets I have ordered in like 2 years from the rack. I should get my own discount code. I love Tire Rack, a guy named Miles helped me on my first set of Yokahamas. He was extremly helpful so it sold me on them even years later.

This is my second set of Kumho 712's I am getting from there. I had to order them again, its a great tire. I went through the Carolinas during Hurricane Charlie on them with no problems at all !

I wanted the 215/40/18 but the 215/35/18 just looks to appealing on a lowered xB IMO.

This thread doesn't have much of a point I guess, just praising Tire Rack & wanted some feedback on my new setup I guess. Just over excited !

Here is what I am strapping them to - Should have them on in a week or two. Just waiting on my shims & spacers from 1 ton. Wish me luck with my new setup & tell me what you all think :D

215/35/18 Kumho Ecsta Supra 712

MSR 105 - 18 X 7.5

My rims and tires are coming from the Tire Rack as well. Will be my first set of rims, but my third set of tires. I'd have to find an INCREDIBLE deal to get me away from Tire Rack.

I'm going with the Kazera KZ-U 18x7 painted silver w/ 215/35/18 ContiExtremeContacts by Continental. Look about the same as your rims.

:D Thats what I liked about them & they didn't cost anywhere near a 7 mod

The pic is a little tricky, The lip is actually only about 2 1/2" but in the pic it looks bigger. They are also availible in Dark Grey, they almost look black w/ the chrome lip.

Thanks for the comps Fujiz

Love your rims. Good choice on tires. I just ordered a set of Kumho Ecsta ASX's from TireRack two weeks ago. The people there are very nice and helpful. I got my tires in just in time to strap them on the day before Import Face Off. I'm going to buy a set of racing tires for my stock wheels for AutoXing. You can bet I'll be getting them from TireRack.

Here's what mine look like on my 18" Bronze ADR Fuel rims:

Red I will def. put pics up, my shims & spacers just arrived about 2 hours ago! Shouting out Van @ one ton garage for the help & the lightning fast shipping

komic that looks great man I am drooling. LOL ! I love ADR's. My brother in law has a Tc & he is looking for wheels. I may have to show him your pics. How are the ASX's? I almost went for them but had such good luck with the ecsta supras, I figured I would stick with them again.

Thanks for the good words everyone, I do appreciate it !

The ASX's are great. My car corners so much better now than with the stocks. I definitely feel a big difference in grip, especially in the rain. I've yet to hear the tires squeal, even at high speeds around corners on the interstate / expressway. I love them.

You have any pics yet?

nice wheels - no lugs showing - very clean - kuhmos are the only tires i would get for daily driving - very hard compound and decent performace - will last a long time
