So what happens when you drive on a flat for too long?


They put out the fire, fixed some stuff, put some Red Duck Tape and continued to race.

 

If it's wet traction you're worried about, I would suggest the Hankook ventus v12 evos. They got a good rating in a comparison test of 9 tires in that price range. It got best wet traction of the 9 they compared. And the benchmark, the more expensive PS2s, had the same score in wet as the hankooks.

I've owned 3 or 4 pairs of these, and they're pretty good. Only reason I didn't get them this time around was because the falkens were a great deal at the time.

Yea, the falkens at about half way are pretty "fun" to accelerate in the wet. At even half throttle, setting off the VDC in 1st, 2nd, and even 3rd sometimes, and they're not even at replacement level yet!

 

IDK if I can make the painting party or not thats the official break up day.

But here is what I think of my old camber worn toyo's

 

Sorry but I hated my hankooks on the g35! lol... Out of all the tires I've had on the G, the Nitto NeoGens have been my favorite.

The company I'm getting the wheels through gave me the choice of 3 tires: falken 452, hankook ventus v12, and nitto 555. Given what I've heard about the falkens, and given my experience with the hankooks, I think I have decided on the nittos. better safe than sorry IMO

 

lol, sorry to hear about that man... well my official move in week is July 1-7. so any of those days that you're free would be cool if you came by. I will probably try to swap around my days off so that i can have a few of those moving days off

 

Well I'll probably bring my little brothers too since they get here tonight.

 

Nice Video lol, you took your muffler off?

 

Nah, it's a Ferrari, all you have to do is just use the brakes and they set themselves on fire.

 

holy crap it looks like you almost hit that pole!

 

Everyone says that but no I stopped like seven - ten feet away.

Took my muffler off?

 

baaalllllllsss

 

Hankooks are shmeh they were great when they were new gripped like hell, but i roasted them in 8k now im running Continental Extreme contact DWS with 550 tread wear FRIGGEN awesome wear going on right now. Between drag racing, doing burn outs, the occasional drifting, and driving aggressive through a curvy road every day they still look brand new and ive got 5k on them already. The only wear theyre showing is the edges are starting to get a little melted from all the abuse ive been giving them. As far as traction goes in the dry theyre pretty good in the wet theyre ok shes never really stepped out on me unless i made it. She will spin a little though with VDC on in the rain if you really get on it but like i said i was trying for that to happen. Also good news is my laptop i ordered from dell came in a week earlier . Im loving it!!! My Osiris Tuner is already delivered at my work address so il be picking that up tomorrow BTW Aaron nice donuts! Also Happy Fathers day to any of the dads on here (if any)

 

What is this VDC you speak of? What does it do?

 

I had the DWS they so far had the best wet traction. In the Dry when they made noise they were already letting go.

I currently have the Falken PT722s(Only tire I could get locally that was some what decent) which are meh, they took a ton of time break in.
In the dry they are better than the DWS. Much more responsive but they suck in the wet. I took them on the Dragon they are very noisy but even screaming they still had tracking.

for instance DWS once they started making noise VDC kicked in hard, but with the Falkens they can scream all day, though that's very close to the limit of the tire.


I guess its just your HFC's sounds louder then I remember it lol

 

Happy fricken Monday
