Neal,
Thanks Neal - I understand. I remember wondering why your site didn't show me all the tires in my size before, until I realized it restricted tires that did not also meet the load range for my vehicle. I appreciate your detailed reply and respect Tire Rack's taking the "high road" to ensure customer satisfaction. However, I do wish it was a bit easier to find or narrow down custom rim sizes because your site, service and product is great.

Thanks for your help; I'll be ordering Continental ExtremeContact DW's from you in the spring!

 

can you get me some good deals on these

hankook ventus evo v12
(2) 285/35/19
shipped 93727

thanks

 

Those are priced at $219 ea, total for a pair would be $466.64. Call me if interested!

 

Mine is a 2006 Coupe 6MT. Stock configs are 225/40/19 and 245/40/19

I am planning to go for

Yoko S-Drive 245/40/19" for rear

Yoko AVID Envigor (W) 225/40/19" for the front.


How would that work ?? the rears are max performance summer and fronts are ultra high performance all season ?

They both have radial(R) threading so I believe it shouldn't make any difference.

 

Pretty bad combo actually. Summers front and all season's rear would make the car handle quite odd front/back. Would be even worse in cold temps and when its wet out. Like trying to play basketball with two different kinds of shoes on.

 

I didn't find 225/40/19 on Yoko S Drive.

How about I go for a 235/35/19 on Yoko S Drive ? My Sidewall is dropping from 3.5" to 3.2" ? My Speedo will be off by 2.3%. But how does it affect my drive ?

 

The 235's are half inch shorter than the 225's so it's very possible that's enough to trip the VDC.

 

Neal,

I am looking at getting the Yokohama AVID ENVigor in 225/50R17 (front) and 235/50R17 (rear). What would be the best price you could do for me being a member of G35driver? On line, at tirerack.com I can get them for $561.07 delivered. Can you do any better than this? I am in the Chicago area. Can I pick them up to cut down on delivery charge and tax?

Thank You!

 

Hey Neal

Could you quote me a pair of Hankook V12 245/35/19 for my oem 19 fronts, shipped to 33069?

Thanks!

 

Best I can do is pricing you see online. I'd be happy to place the order for you, or keep an eye on it when placed online with my name referenced.

A pair shipped would run $389.35. Call me when ready!

 

Hey Neal,

What snow tires would you recommend for 06 GAT? Currently have the Continental DWS all seasons on and I am having a hell of a time with the snow right now. Stock configs 225/40/19 and 245/40/19.

I was looking at the Blizzak LM-60's? Can you beat advertised price, 225/40R19 $216.00 (ea.) & 245/40R19 - $235.00 (ea.) = $902.00

Thanks.

 

Hey i'm sure Neal will answer you, but just thought i'd share. I was thinking of getting winter tires as well ( 07 G35 Coupe) but decided since i'm getting winter tires, i might as well get dedicated snow tires so i ended up with the Blizzak WS60. We just had about 7 inches of snow yesterday in MD and i drove out this morning with no problems. Couple weeks back we have have as well and again no issues.

Snow tires are great and definitely recommend them.
The Blizzak WS-60 or the new Blizzak WS-70 are great. THis past year however, according to tirerack, the Continental Extreme Winter Contact got first place in the shootout!

The LM-60 are performance winter tires so they won't do as well as snow tires like the WS-60 or WS-70.

Also keep in mind that if the temp gets like above 40-45deg everyday then it's time to switch back to your summer or all-season tires.

Nick,

Do you use a different set of rims for snow tires or swap out summer tires for winter etc using one set of rims?

Not sure if I want to spend the extra money on a set of rims and tires plus cost to put them on. We have been getting a lot of snow past two years in Philly and starting to get tired of digging my car out of ditches. The Conti Extreme DWS I have now are Ok, but think I may need a dedicated snow-winter tire. I would only use them December - March. Thanks for your input!

 

yea i actually found someone on here selling their winter setup.
I got Rims, Tires, and Sensors for $600 with 4000miles on the tires so it was a good deal! Drove to Delaware to pick them up though. THe rims were ASA JH3.
Check the classified section on here as well. There is a winter setup section. Yea i'm planning on swapping out by end of march as well.

 

Need some BFG KDW 2s in 245/35-19 and 275/30-19 Thanks!
