A. Lighter wheels improve handling
B. 45 series ARE low profile
C. On the street a super low profile tire like a 245/35-19 will bounce over road imperfections making you slower and less controlled

the lotus exige comes with 195/50-16 front 225/45-17 rear and its one of the best handling cars in the world

the elise comes with 175/55-16 front 225/45-17 rear

so anyway, what tires do you have again?

 

yeah no reason to berate you.

Bridgestone makes a good tire in their many versions of the Potenza. I run all seasons on the Z right now because I can't find a wide enough 15" tire and they're extremely cheap, so until I get new wheels, Kumho ASTs it is.

The NSX was another story...

 

Here's a random little question...where did your username come from???

 

he's a questions to get this back on track ...

well today i hit a tire that was in the middle of the road and screwed the front bumper all up and the under cover for the engine .... my options ....

A - spend the money to fix mine and have it all repainted for whatever they say
B - nismo front shipped and paint to my door for $550 and spend the money to have it fitted correctly to my front end ...

C - im ordering the aluminum shield for the bottom regardless :-) ...

im voting B !!! anyone else agree ??

i finally have an excuse to get a new front end now BWHAHA

 

Hikkatadori revised Nismo? They make a direct bolt on for your year car. It doesn't need to be modified.

I say get and estimate first on the repair, then go from there.

Sorry to hear about the damage Chris

 

B ftw




Question:
should I buy this, fix the head gasket, do some crazy off roading and then sell it for a profit or will it end in heart break?

Eh I see no reason why not. I'm not a Jeep guy, but from the description it sounds like the problem is well isolated and assured. You may not make a profit by the time you fix it, but maybe?

 

yeah maybe

they seem to be worth 4000-4500 when running..idk

 

I vote B, Ive become a big fan of that bumper with the inserts and its a great price. Do you have an OEM lip on your bumper? If so ill buy it and you can put it towards the Nismo.

 

always replace damaged oem parts with modz ftw

 

link please .. cause the one im looking at from strafe has to have some fabbing done to it ....

also im looking at the kurookie :-) will see

 

lol if i had the oem lip on my car it would have exploded !!! im so glad i ordered my rotors instead of that front lip LOL !!

 

Link to what? lol

Just call or txt me, I'll explain what I mean and tell you where you can get one

 

Dude your tires are big as hell look at them, they're like lifesavers. I could barely put tire shine on mine cause they're so thin. My speedometer isn't off. Nice try. It says the same speed on my gps as my speedometer. The tires are toyo proxes t1R
