Tyre Choices

[JieLine]

Well i had RS2s put on mine about a month ago now, yes my tyres are quite small in comparison to yours (215/45/17) but wow they are much better than my old bridgestone grid IIs that i had on previously. I can say they have alot of grip in wet and dry and is a much smoother tyre. The only thing left is to find out the life of these tyres... How long should tyres last?

How long should tyres last?

How heavy is your right foot? How often to you check tyre pressures and how often do you get your wheels rotated/aligned?

Thank SikII

I thought about it like you did..should have been the middle. Im running my 34GTT on 34GTR rims. Do you think it has anything to do with the offset? I like it when the pressure is on 36PSI, more stiffer sidewall but suffer a little on ride.

If im not mistaken, my last alignment the front chambers were around 1.7 degree negative. Is that too much?

Hope to pump up the pressure tomoro, you reckon it's possible to 38PSI? I know the limit is much higher but kinda worried about the tire wear. Should i start to rotate the front tire left to right since they are on 235/40/18 atm.

i dont see how u have that much negative camber on the front if you suspension is standard... i think around 1 degree is ok for normal use, i would say that 1.7 would cause a bit of wear on the inside. not sure if the offset would make a difference, would have to ask someone else

in relation to the tyre pressures, i generally have my t1-rs at 40-42psi. i find that 38 is about the lower limit i like them on, you will find they feel sharper when over 38psi. so dont worry about overinflation at least up to around 42psi.

i have measured tyre wear and they have not worn more in the middle of the tyre(overinflation) even with those pressures

Just fitted my car with Toyo T1Rs 225/50r16. They feel very squirmy in the rear end, might have to try increasing the pressures to try and firm them up a bit. They may also just need to be scrubbed in a little more, time will tell.

PS. i scored them for $200 per tyre which i thought was pretty reasonable, considering average rubber is only $40 or so less.
