Tires, tires... and more tires!

might want to replace your Van Halen and AC/DC stickers with like "Thug life" and "tupac" stickers instead.

 

throw a couple of cheap subs in the trunk too, right?

[White93z34]

for sure, get some lightning audio subs, and a jensen headunit, and tint your windows, those along with like 20-22' rims could get it sold for at least twice bluebook.

you really think so?

 

i'd put a ton of money into it though. my rear window will cost a lot to tint because it curves in two places, and big wheels arn't cheap, yo

[White93z34]

is it ok to do this on your car for example have

 

 

the front 16 inch tired and the back 17 or 18's

 

i REALLY wouldn't recommend that...ALTHOUGH, if you get the right sizes, you could actaully make the tire sizes CLOSE to the same...

 

i think big wheels and tires look like shit on most cars, but we all know how bigass wheels are the cool thing to do nowadays

 

 

What i basically want to do is make the the rear end of the car higher then the front instead of getting a lift kit because i dont have the money. you know what i mean. I dont even know what size 92 lumina eurosport tires are. thanks for your quick responses 93CutlassSupreme and terryk2003

no prob.

 

i know what you're looking for. i know someone who raised the rear end of a '92 Seville, and i like the look. it looks better than lowering the car. whenever i see a lowered car, i usually assume a beaner or ricer is driving it.

 

maybe your monoleaf is bad and sagging. my monoleaf is bad, it squeaks like a mofo and the tire gap on my front wheel wells is twice the gap of my rear wheel wells. i think it looks gay

[TeeJay3800]

It says 16x6.5 for the wheel size. It's probably too small to accomodate a 225 tire, isn't it?

No, I have 225/60R15's on my wheels which are 15x6.0. You can go up to 235's on a 6.5" wide rim.

I had Doral tires on my Regal when I bought it and they were so shitty :x

 

One blew, one couldent hold air, one had a fucked up sidewall, and all had shitty warped tread.

 

Ive gotten new tires since then but cant recall what brand right now and wont know till I get my car back. Allthough my front left tire has a buldge in the sidewall, I wonder if I could get a new tire becasue I heard discount tire has a warranty on all their tires

[pitzel]

No problem with my trusty ol P225/R70/16 Firestone tyres. They handle great on the snow, and didn't cost my grandpa much money when he was alive.

[sonyman87]

http://www.tirerack.com look up Bridgestone 009s 225/60r/16 i tested them in the snow this past week seems really good for trackion in all weather including snow and water. i give them a A++ they do good for drag racing also they got me that 2.25 60foot constantly

[Dannymik]

come on Kevin, you wouldnt want 22" spinnaz? Good ole white boy with tones of bling, bling!

...hmmmm. interesting.

I looked into some more tire options and seen I can get Nokian All-Weather Plus WR. Which I heard to be a very good high perf. all-season tire. I think it's either these or the Potenza 009 tires that i'm considering.

 

Thanks for all the input.

 

EDIT: I was looking at reviews on the Nokians, they have good reviews for wet, snowy, icey conditions, but in dry conditions they don't do so well. I think I might be leaning towards the Potenzas.

I also have the Yoko Avid H4S... AA, A, 500 in the factory size for the '92 euro... 215/60-16... I can now drive with reckless abandon in the rain... it's REALLY funny so TOAST cars that obviously handle better though the corners when it's raining... These things cost $67 each, have a 60,000 mile treadlife warranty through yokohama, and grip better in the wet than my last tires did in the dry.

 

Last night, I figured I'd see what it'd really do in the rain... 38 deg F and raining... if they were gonna lock up not in the snow, that would have been when it would have happened... on a country road that is pretty smooth... tried a 1-foot pannic stop... thing just stopped... no ABS, no nothing... and damned fast. I said "ok" and got back up to like 60 and did a 2-foot-on-the-brake-pedal pannic stop... As hard as I could with both feet and I got a total of about 1/4 second of ABS when I went through a puddle while stopping. I was absolutely amazed! I could kick on the ABS with my last tires on dry pavement in a pannic stop, but not the H4S's.

you do know what i mean, right?

 

 

ghettos who don't give a shit about the car, only want a loud ass radio, and spend their money on radios and wheels instead of maintaining the car.

 

did i say all black people? no.

 

that applies to wiggers too, i put them in the same group

I just got a set of 4 BFGoodrich Traction T/A's in 225/60R16 for my '92 Regal GS Coupe in the "T" speed rating (70,000 mile warranty) and so far I think they're pretty nice. Only put about 600 miles on them and they do seem to grip real well in dry & wet - we haven't gotten any snow yet, though. They ride quite nice and are quiet. Only thing I noticed is it seems as though you need to up your tire pressure a little, like 2 to 4 lbs. more. I got lucky on the price, special ordered them at Wal-Mart and they honored last years price of $69.97 each.
