Who has the best deals on some new tires?
I am thinking of some Azenis, unless you guys can recommend something better.
I am looking for some sticky tires, i am tired of these push all over the place ES100's, and besides I finally wore them out....only took a year and a half..lol.
Thanks for the recommendations in advance.
:burnrubr:
:confused: Sounds to me like you need an alignment and some driving school or are riding on some bald ass tyres! I loved the set of ES100's I had when they first came out. Not bad on the tread life you got out of them btw!:burnrubr:Quote:

Online Tires has Toyo T1-R in 195/50/15 for $60ea. That's what I will be doing.
I dont know what it is with these tires but a lot of folks out at Gary's have told me they had the same experience with their ES's (ie turn the wheel the car goes straight), happens to me turning a U-turn from a dead stop and has since after the first couple thousand miles.
Thanks for the heads up on the Toyos.
I did use the Icehawk #'s last allignment, maybe will go with the lanny #'s this time....it was pretty extreme.
Can't disagree with him for a change. I don't think you can get a better performance/price combo...Quote:

At least $135 is still better than the $180 for the stock crappy Michelins.
I am probably going with the same; I just hope they don't wear too fast. Edgeracing has them a little cheaper.
heres what I came up with

well I worked it out with them and am getting,
Falken Hanabi wheels in anodized silver, and Azenis RT615's
got a good look at the rims today and they are severely bent throughout.
should have the new stuff in about 4 days
Very nice. :D
Now the question becomes, are they going to stay silver?
;)
until the car gets painted,...yes
uh oh... what color are you planning for the car?Quote:

So I will likely have either Orange or Black wheels
I also plan on adding ground effects, the racing beat spoiler, and a TDR air splitter and the original nose with HID's
I also plan on turning the entire interior Black with Orange accents.
and that will about do it....this after the SC/IC installation,fuel pump and gauges.
unless I change my mind ;)

I might pick up some of those Toyo's... my tires make my miata feel like its FWD... understeer!
Good luck on the Toyos, there is a nationwide backorder on them.
Thats why I went with the Azenis
Cripes, well I need something haha.
How much are you paying for the Azenis? I need 195/x/x
icepenguin...I love ya buddy, but have to disagree with you on es100 tire wear. I had a set that wore really fast.
If you have a 16" wheel I've always thought the pirelli p zero nero M&S is the greatest tire made at the moment. They last forever, grip really well, with a very firm sidewall. I love that tire, hands down, no one comes close...but they don't make a 15.
The 205's are $74. not sure about 195's
cool should have my new wheels and tires in Friday and will get the alignment on Monday, i ordered from EdgeRacing...they mount and balance the tires with chrome valvestems and include the hubcentric rings and lugs
so all I have to do is put them on and get the alignment and I will be done for a while.:burnrubr:
Got the wheels and tires in today, it seems that the Hanabi wheel is one direction only so the rims are pointed straight on the right side of the car and backwards on the left...i really dont care its just odd i thought.
On a better note the Toyo R1's came off back order so i was able to get them instaed of the Azenis...and I got the 205's instead of the 195's I have been running.
Should have some pics up this weekend.
That'll be fun next time it rains!Quote:
