metalmonkey47 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Haven't decided on size yet, or brand so I'm asking your opinions. I've never had to buy tires yet, so I'm a total noob. I'm gonna be sliding on some 15x10's as soon as I can go snag them, and I'll be needing tires for winter driving. I want to keep a lower profile, but I don't want rubber bands. Suggestions?

metalmonkey47 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Found some tires I like here, but only in a 225/45. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hankook&tireModel=Ventus+R-S3&partnum=245WR5Z222&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Just don't let em sell you anything you DON'T want ,,,,,,,, sometimes they will try hard ! When you go to buy ,,, shop around ,,, ask them to print a tire quote out ,,, then walk into the next tire store with a competitors quote ,,, don't show much ,,, just hold ,,, get a print out from them ,,, go to next one ,,, :lol: ( all my tire shops are like 5-7 minutes from eachother ,,, keeps everyone honest ) Quote Link to comment
RedBanner Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 225 would be a good width, maybe stretched alittle 45 is pretty low profile but not super low in 225 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 225/45R15 would be 8.8" wide and 4"sidewalls. Total diameter about 23" . So what's your stock tire diameter as this may throw the gearing and speedo out. A 9" tire is shitty in the snow. Quote Link to comment
Master-O-Turbonics Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hey need a 3.54 rear end gear for short tires? :-D I had the cheapo $39 walmart all season tires on my 210 and they had really good snow/ice traction. They were 185/65R14 size. This is probably the most fun I have ever had as a drifting Hoonigan in any car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zMVTMilnU4 Quote Link to comment
