Thank you for all your help. Wish I cud get those tyres today. But will have to wait until they open on Monday. I just hope that they aren't to expensive

yeah man no worries ...... just find something to do today to pass the time , clean car in and out , bathe dog or Netflix =] .... who knows when you get there, they may have another brand just as good and cheaper ... just look for something with good "tread wear" and look out for road noise asap ... also check the manufactured date of the tire , but they have always sold me fresh stuff =]

Bought the dunlops today. 225 x 45 x 17. Car looks good but does not ride as well as the 15's that the car came with. Not a bad ride but the 15's rode better. Will post pics when I can. Some slight touching when I lock over now and then. I think it's touching on mud guards

Postby **marcus8860** » October 21st, 2013, 4:37 pm

hum, what was the original spec on those 15" tires .... any road noise btw ?

Alpha trini · Postby **Alpha trini** » October 21st, 2013, 5:07 pm

Car came with 15's. It's raining so photos will have to wait

What do you think.

Postby **marcus8860** » October 22nd, 2013, 10:01 am

that lookin real nice pal =] ... that space full up and the rim is a one of kind , I don't see any hatchbacks with that style... I could see why you might touch when turning especially at rally speed, but a 215/45/17 should be a touchless fit... is that a 17x7 rim?

Alpha trini · Postby **Alpha trini** » October 22nd, 2013, 11:49 am

Yes it's a 17 x 7 rim . Should have gone with the. 215 instead of the 225

Postby **marcus8860** » October 22nd, 2013, 11:57 am

yeah but don't worry about it .... how bad it touching though ? ... maybe you can still take it back and complain that its the wrong fit =]

air wick · Postby **air wick** » October 22nd, 2013, 3:22 pm

Nah the 225 good, I have no issues with that size. I run 245/40 on my wrx with no probs.

Alpha trini · Postby **Alpha trini** » October 22nd, 2013, 7:59 pm

I am using 225 x 45 x 17

PM me if you gonna change tyres. Was gonna buy some new ones by December, wud take them off yur hands just giv me a gd price.

Alpha trini · Postby **Alpha trini** » December 16th, 2013, 7:44 pm

Tyres have been on car for about two months now. The tyre was rubbing now and then when I lock over all. That has stopped completely without any adverse effects. The tyre does give some road noise also I have gotten used to ride and it's not bad. Over all I am pleased with tyre and rims so far
