i just bought a set for my OEM 19 rear wheels 255/40/19, iv read good reviews on them but iv also read that the sidewall is soft. also that they are not to good at the track

anyone have these on their G? Thought on these tires?

Thanks,
-Wes

 

i am running them in a 255/30 and 285/30. have to say the sidewall is pretty soft, its noticeable in turns. I maxed out the psi in them basically to limit that. IMHO i would probably buy them again because of the cost factor. the whole set ran me less than 800. the wear is pretty good, had them for about 1k miles and barely notice any besides for maybe a little camber wear. they are also really good in the rain.

hope this helps

 

Damn, Thanks

 

Had mines for over a year now (about 6-8k miles) and they've been pretty solid. They've held up pretty well even after a year of extreme fender rubbing. I'll see if I can post pics of how my tires look like now.

 

hey beebs..I've been considering these tires too...after searching, researching, and comparing, I'm leaning towards vredersteins (it looks to be the superior tire from a performance standpoint)...and yup, the soft sidewall on the V12's contributed to not going with them.

 

damn it lol oh well its fine, once i get a sedan my mom will be driving the coupe and she does not drive aggressive so its all good haha

 

but let us know how they are after you get'em on...would be interested in hearing your impressions.

 

will do, ill have them put on tomorrow

 

I wouldn't put them on a track, but a nice street perf tire. Everyone that I've sold those to has been quite happy with them.

 

^^^ and thats what i need them for but a i do plan on the drags on the weekend every now and then

i love how quiet these tires are

 

Verygood tires, no complaints here. Yes soft sidewall but overall good bang for your buck.

 

have you been to the drags with the tires?

 

I like them, just bought another set for the rears. 255/40.

I'll prolly get different tires next, the soft walls are starting to annoy me.

 

iv had them for a week and i am already annyed by the soft sidewalls but they are still pretty good, they do only have about 200 miles on them see we shall see

 

Damn, I was thinking about getting them for my stretched setup but I guess that won't do, especially with the soft sidewalls.
