+1

Dont make em in 205/R14, at least not according to vulcantire. Even on 195s I won my class by a significant margin

Falken doesn't list a 205. I swear they sold them in that size at one point....maybe I'm confused.

I cant get over how fucking teenie they look. I still might get them to try on the DD. I don't like the tire much at all on the S2k but that was mostly because i downgraded from some bridgestones.

Is that like the OZ Rally Edition Lancer?

9/30/2008 8:41:12 AM

well the 195/65R14 is one of the standard econobox sizes

9/30/2008 8:55:14 AM

And its an awesome size b/c its cheap. Those Azenis are like $80/pop. Or maybe cheaper I don't remember it was a while ago.

9/30/2008 9:51:30 AM

I think that's the size I'm running on the e30. My Falcon ZE-912's were $59 each iirc and I used a coupon for $100 off and free shipping. Cheap is an understatement for that set of tires.

9/30/2008 10:24:07 AM

$300 shipped to my door and $23 to mount and balance at walmart (that's like 5.50 a tire!) = profit!

oh shit

i know what im getting next

9/30/2008 11:13:33 AM

PLEASE SON.

WE ALL KNOW YOU'RE GETTING SOME CHEAP ALL SEASON TIRES.

9/30/2008 11:15:49 AM

maybe, considering i still have about 50k miles left on my current set

who knows what will happen then

9/30/2008 11:21:07 AM

Ya know, the first thing that came to mind was that they were only like $50/ea but I was like nah thats too low! maybe that was the cost...

Thats why I think its fun to race these small cars. tiny tires + tiny brakes = low expenses

hell even my 255/40R17 RT615's are fairly cheap. $125/each I'm on my 3rd set and I really love these tires in both wet/dry

9/30/2008 5:40:46 PM

i think i got reemed for like 135per for a 255/40/17 3 months ago

9/30/2008 5:59:41 PM

congrats, i'm sure those skills will come in handy the next time you're fighting for that parking place at walmart.

9/30/2008 11:45:57 PM

Real men don't need wide tires to go fast.

haha

autocross skills apply directly to road course driving. Not on a slow course, but on an airfield-type course definitely yes. And you don't have to sell a kidney to compete.

10/1/2008 6:10:08 PM

yeah, i've driven in the snow a few times. i'm sure i could win the d1 championship if i wanted to.i

[Edited on October 1, 2008 at 6:18 PM. Reason : i dunno, a shopping cart rolling into your car can cause some expensive damage...]

10/1/2008 6:17:11 PM

lol


you guys act like its the most expensive thing.

for crying out loud. its not.

$250-300 entry fee. and gas.

the wear and tear isnt any different from your autoX. dont think that you're gonna screw your tires/engine up more if you go on a road course.

lol...in an auto-x your car sees a grand total of 5-10 minutes of 'action' per day if you're lucky.

on a road course your car gets beat on for 2-4 hours per day for 2-3 days per an event.

You do the math on the wear and tear

although I would take a road course/hpde over autox any day!

10/1/2008 6:51:18 PM

well what i meant was in regards to people saying that it wears your tires out and brakes and all this jazz..

autoX does also.

its obvious that its more demanding, but both sports put a toll on the car. its no different.

10/1/2008 6:52:42 PM

What the hell man? Of course a track day (or days) wears your car out a hell of a lot more. Tire and brakes. 100+ miles of track duty versus maybe 2 miles total autoxing.

And I'd rather do the track event every time. Just can't do them as often

10/1/2008 10:59:17 PM

LOL

negros i know that.

im just saying.... comparing the two... you need tires for both.. or you dont.. you need brakes for both.. or you dont... same type of concept.

the point i was getting at is that people always throw the whole cost thing out of proportion.

yeah, it costs say $300 to get there with gas and admission fee. but thats pretty much all you're paying for in the difference. an autoX is 30-40.

a while back i did the math.. the number of laps at VIR for $300 versus the # of laps in an autoX for $30-40.

10/2/2008 2:35:13 PM

^no you're not comparing it right. A set of tires will last through 2 seasons of autoxing, brakes probably 3-4 seasons. You don't that get longevitity on road courses.

10/2/2008 3:12:11 PM

autox should be free. and it will be here at state to state students. don't believe me? I don't care.

10/2/2008 8:34:51 PM

nigor what?

so its free... big deal.

its still not worth the trill compared to road course events.

i think 100% of us can agree.
