what teh fuhk

[trevor smith]

I have only had my car for 4 months now for some reason i have been through 4 sets of tires lmao oh well.

How long do tires last you guys??

Putting fifth set on tommorow meh

[titter]

What the fuck kind of tires are you buying? Are you going through all four tires, or just rears? God damn. I have had the same set on the car since I bought it, and they were 50% gone on the rear, maybe 65% up front.

[Hazzvd?b]

wow kid ur fucking up or something

[pjnightss]

in the 98 jetta i had bad dampers in all 4 corners and went through tires like crazy as well.

[Billy]

sounds like you need shocks and an alignment. tires should last atleast 20k as long as you dont drift or race on them.

[trevor smith]

Alignment has been checked and I'm running nexen 3000's now so hopeully these last longer ha. And only the back tires are goin out.

for the first 2 months i had my Z i went throught 6 sets of rears and 2 sets of fronts..i was getting my mad tyte drift skills a test drive in new car. granted none of the tires where new but about 70%

[ISMELLRICE]

damn trevor i have a multiple solutions...

1. dont burn out at every light
2. stop going to the track and burning out in the water box with street radials
3. stop buying no-name tires such as nangcrap and sunnyD or Triangle
4. drive normally

[slow2v]

wow!

do you buy your own tires or have your parents do it for u?

[ISMELLRICE]

hmmm

[trevor smith]

i buy my tires the car is payed off. Parents would shit if they knew how much i spend on that car in tires. Just to think i could of had so many extras on it already if i just didnt spin tire so much. oh well.

[vr_unreality]

get an extra set of rims and put some good tires on them. Buy some pos high treadwear ones for the street. 400+ and they will last for a long ass time. lol

[trevor smith]

ive been looking to get rid of the rims i have right now there almost 30 pounds a piece or more, and was gonna get some lightweight black rims for the goat and put nits on the back but at the moment money is tight.

[slow2v]

what he said....get my fucking nitto DRs that are brand fucking new for any racing and rock some shit hard tires the rest of the time

[slow2v]

maybe you should lay off the gas?

[vr_unreality]

You'll spend more on tires in the long run. Lay off the gas for a couple of months and save up. It's worth it in he long run.

[+Juan]

my fronts are balding on the inside , and the rears are at about 30% on the inside aswell due to camber.
gonna get them switched around pretty soon.

[LongboarderScott]

i used nexens, their "alright" tires, but hold up pretty decent. I think RoadRunner still has his on, and he drives a turbo mr2 like a madman sometimes. Tires shouldnt bald that quickly, it'd be your suspension or your driving habits...or both

[titter]

2. stop going to the track and burning out in the water box with street radials


If this is true ... you get a fucking face palm. Street tires do no need a burnout at the track. You especially want to avoid the water as it will kick up onto your wheel wells, and drip back on the tire during staging causing you to spin.

When I am at the track, I go around the water box. I will spin the tires just a little, enough to get the dirt off of them, and then stage.

[02vortec]

I got a set of 2x 18's for $60. Have about 80% tread on them.

every Z has the inner wear problem..used to see them after 8k miles from a new car needing fronts

[Jcook]

Trevor you fucking idiot. There are 50 fucking black marks around town from you at least. The car is fine. 18 year old plus 400hp is what is fucking your tires up...

[ISMELLRICE]

he couldnt do it in the grand prix so hes doing it now lol

[Bumpin' Yota]

...3. stop buying no-name tires such as nangcrap and sunnyD...

When you burn out with these tires does the smoke smell/taste like oranges? :yumyum:

Ehh I've found the opposite to be true.

Thus far my RT-615s (a pre-shaved autocross tire) lasted as long as or longer than my Yokahama's AS430s (really high treadwear and very easily spun.) However when I first got my goat I had the Yok's on, the RT's are the most recent, thus my maturity level has likely gone up....LOL!

Do yourself a favor leave the traction control on at all times! Or grow up and stop flooring it at every light.

I've been through 3 sets of tires in the 2 years (and 30,000 miles) I've owned my GTO. (Technically 4, but the kdws = utter shit)


Yokohama AS430s (first set that I burned through - new to high performance cars)

General Exclaim UHPs (purchased used with 40% treadwear remaining - was more interested in the rims they were on)

BFG KDWS (purchased VERY cheaply with 15% treadwear remaining - lasted less than 3000 miles before dry rotting into oblivion!)

Falken RT-615 (preshaved autocross tire) Best tire to date I've been on. Will be purchasing more in the future.

Damn, I know clewiston - damn small town and a mongo speed trap! How has Trevor not been ticketed out the ying yang?? Driving through on 27, I cant count the number of cops I've seen nailing speeders...

[JP]

I honestly have no response for this....."you can't fix stupid" is the only thing that comes to mind.

Anyhow, how many of you tards are running around with your worst two tires on the front? Always keep the best two on the front, steering is more important than acceleration.

too some...but some ppl use understeering to there advantage

...like a certain 350Z running from the cops, but not making the interstate due to pushing the front tires? :ugh2:

I was more along the lines of not wanting the front tires to be more likely to hydro plane than the rears; we are talking about driving in FL after all.

[trevor smith]

New tires are on finally so now the car can be mobile. I think imma lay off burning out because I'm jobless and moneyless Noe ha oh well. I do want to put som nits on the back tho hehe

if he let off a bit might of helped make that turn. driving as fast as possible isnt about just flooring it

yeah i experienced the whole hydro plane yesterday in the down poor.. lets say my first thought was "well this was a decent looking car" but then the tires stopped flouting.
