well, they were delivered to my business address but I was unable to pick them up yesterday. I'll get them tonight.

 

weak sauce....

 

ya, weak sauce.

PICS!

Rota RBR 16x8 4x114.4mm +04 mm (yes, four, not forty obviously) $650 for four shipped

Hyper black centers, polished lip
In the sunlight these are obviously a lighter silver than gunmetal. I think they'll go well with the silver 280ZX

 

Get them mounted, NAO! lol I was looking into getting a set of those for my car, and was wondering how theyd fit! lol

 

g00dy g00dy ghum drawps!!!

Sumitomo HTR Z tires on all four

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....ireModel=HTR+Z

 

Nice! I have the older model of those Sumitomo's. I like em.

 

/gAY!!!! kumho ecsta's or bridgstone potenza yo! or a yokohama tire would to. those tires are serious weak sauce... im very disappointed in you right now

 

What tires do you have on your car? 0h wait... you wrecked that car. The tires you were using must have been lacking in the "grip" dept.

 

i dont see how when IT WASNT MY FAULT!!!! there wasnt enough grip, or large enough brakes in the world to have stopped my car in time, that guy flew the **** out when you got 10 ft to stop from 25mph its not hapening, after reaction time itself you got like a few left. you got about 7fps at 20 mph i do believe

 

GT-R could do it.

 

The tires I ordered are 40% less price than those you mentioned and get good ratings on traction and performance. Your name brand addiction is seriously weak sauce.

 

lol hes so damn defensive.. like a little cocker spaniel or something

BTW falkens FTW, IMO and MO is the only O...

 

sumitomo is garbage!!!! kumho is a great price! the potenza's are expensive though i agree there, however one of the best street tires you can get! suck bawls in rain though, sick as hell on dry pavement though, had them on my Z32

 

bleach i am jealous, your getting all the goodies with this zx build. im gonna have to see it when you get further along. wheel locks and an alarm are def. needed soon.

 

Snwy, there are very few choices for the tire sizes I selected. Only 3 brands. Kumhos were not available and I was not going to buy tires that suck in the rain. 16's kinda suck for tire options. I also went staggered so the brand had to have the same tire in both sizes available.
This winter was the first and last time I will drive the car in the snow. Next year I'll have snow tires for my truck.

The car has an alarm and the PO wired in a solenoid for the driver's lock so its full power locks with keyless entry. I also have some good wheel locks. 16 of them.

 

Don't lose the key like our good Floridian friend did. No less than 72!!!

 

Should have got Sportmax wheels. These are like half the price and more ba imo.

But I do like the ones you got! They will look clean on there mang.

 

uhh... I saw those Sportmax. I like the ones I purchased.

I also have Sportmax 002 16x8 for the Fairlady

I also ordered a 2nd key for my locks so I have a spare.

 

Bleach, I think you'll be happy with the HTR Z tires. I have the HTR Z III tires mounted on my Z, and they grip well, just don't drive them in temps anywhere near freezing. These tires are about on par with my friend's Michelin Pilotsport tires but they are not as easy to control when the limits are approached. For the price, I have no complaints and they work well as both a daily driver tire and weekend canyon tire.

 

Now that I see the tread pattern on the HTR Z II, I probably would have picked that if it was available in the sizes I want.


Its all about looks and name brands.

My car is just going to be used as a daily driver. I'll get better tires when I buy my 20x9 wheels.

 

yeah my tires dont like cold temps either, and around here i cant use them from late october till march. they just dont grip. i switch to stock rims with all good seasons
