I have dibbs first!

haha j/k

 

[Jeepngli]

I called dibs the last time he was selling his car.!

You can have them. I would just nickel amd dime him anyway

 

[S197gt07]

Like I said, it mainly comes down to when he decides to trade it in.

In all seriousness if he wants mileage and fun, the deal for the Si is pretty nice.

I probably won't be pulling the car out till the start of April

summer nationals July 4th weekend. Only mentioned it half dozen times.

i'd take her, but im not in the 400+hp club as mentioned before lol...how come she can't take the GT?

 

[Captainstr8edge]

So guys, im looking at tires. The 555r's only come in a 275 or 325, so what do you guys think? Should I go for the 325?

 

[S197gt07]

275

325's will poke out and look silly, and you know what guys run in the x275 class

 

[Captainstr8edge]

Traction on the strip and traction on the street are 2 different things. I don't think it will look funny at all, stkjock runs them on his gt500 and it looks good.

 

[S197gt07]

I thought he had 315's, not the 325's.

Whats the price difference between them? The 275's will also be a ton lighter, and they will strech a bit on a 10" rim and give you more tire on the pavement.

295 would be perfect, haha.

 

[Wicked Pissah]

Ryan, i wouldnt mind trying to see if those wheels will clear. Good deal on the civic. Gotta do what you gotta do.

im pretty sure they will clear, buddy nick with the silver saleen has brembos and just bought black FR500s from am they fit, close though.

Nope, he has 325's. Not sure of the price difference yet, still waiting on a pm back from Steve.

I agree, I would go with a 295 or 305 if I could get the tire I want in those sizes.

 

[Wicked Pissah]

get the more sought after tire so when u total the car, u will be able to make back a little more money.

Not to worry, when it gets totaled there will be nothing left to part out!

 

[S197gt07]

He's going to do it the right way.

No parts left behind.

Exactly!

 

[S197gt07]

Kevin doesn't fuck around

 

[HellsBells]

Why do people on here get the 555R's? They have a horribly low treadlife rating (100)...I understand if it's a weekend car but for a daily drive it's a little silly.

 

[S197gt07]

For a DR they get the best mileage. I've heard people go 10-15k with them.

And they are dirt cheap

Find me a tire that size with better life.

 

[Captainstr8edge]

On discount tire the 325's are 208 shipped and the 275's are 159 shipped. Waiting to see what bbr can do for me.

You wanted a 295 ideally right? BFG KDW2.

What sidewall and rim size?
