izzo Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 sedans are ugly as fuck, at least the 2 door ones. The slope for the back window is just god awful. The four doors look better, theres more car before that slope... (but the shitty part is its a four door lulz) Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Mine is a 4 door sedan :) Going Friday to see if I can transfer the title and if so the credit card will have a large rockauto purchase for all of the brake stuff. It has been sitting for (reportedly) 4 years, so everything has to be gone through. +1 for getting it into project datto. I only found this because I have been looking for large threads to read at work and happened to be in the 610 section. Quote Link to comment

Edit: your talking about b210s XD Quote Link to comment

72240z Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Check your toe at an alignment shop. Toe will eat tires faster then anything. Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Chinese tires on a Japanese car? :lol: Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 i dont think so they are falkens actually some spendy falkens at that Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Ah well falkens do wear quick, they are a soft compound Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I had a set last many a mile. Weird Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I have seen friends and old customers run through them really quick but I'm sure they arent all the same compound. Never owned a set myself. The car itself being out of alignment can cause excessive tire wear too, with even wear and a perfect alignment. Cars that have been in accidents and what not at some point in their life will never be 100% true ever again. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 this car has never been it and i had it aligned so that isnt a factor the factor is the tires wore out to early lol to the point i got another set for free Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Ya I caught that. MY point was trying to save you from having to do the same shit again in a year. Everything on the car is perfect, going through a set of tires every 16k is totally normal Congrats on the free tires Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 i know its not normal im not sure why i went threw them that quickly we shall see what happens with these ones Quote Link to comment

zerow Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Ah well falkens do wear quick, they are a soft compound I have one (my rear drive wheel) that has worn faster than the others. I will be going a different route for new tires...but, then again, I will be going a different route on rims this summer, too. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 The way you drive is a big factor too. Same as gas mileage. There are many unconscious thing we do that increase tire wear.... Hard acceleration. Constant braking when following too close and braking hard at the last possible moment when stopping instead of slowing gradually. Constant lane changing. Traveling too fast for the road surface. Smooth=faster, rough/gravel=slower Excessive speed Under inflated tires. Not slowing for turns These are not necessarily unsafe practices but it adds to the tire wear. Short of canyon carving, when driving normally think of the road as being slightly frosty and avoid anything in excess like sudden braking, turns, acceleration and speeds. If you replace tires every 15K then think of it as an enjoyment tax. :lol: :lol: :lol: 2 Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I have falkens, run 51 psi and drive normal, once and a while take a corner or two fast. Even wear so far and haven't worn fast. Still has the color marks inside the tread from factory. I drive daily. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 51 seems a bit high. What does the side wall say for recommended PSI? (High is better than too low) My son was bitching about tire wear once long ago when he started driving. The outer edges were getting pretty smooth. It was the way he turned corners and the general fast pace he did everything in his car. When I was a kid my mom was always telling me to 'pick up my feet' when I dragged them. I see now that it was so they didn't have to replace them as often. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Sidewall says max psi 51. I've talked to other people that run falkens. They recommend the same. Lower pressure and the outsides wear to fast. Tire shop put them at thirty pounds and there was way to much pudge tire looked half flat and drove not so great. Quote Link to comment
