Get some TC105's with a 265/35/18 RS-3!

 

Sitting on 225/35/17 because the previous owner was a cheap @ss. I know the rubber with help tremendously, but I'm also going to end with new bushings, etc more than likely.

lmao and your wondering why you have this problem?

I'm assuming its a cheap tire too.

get the the right size RS3 for your rim and your problems will be fixed

 

I didn't go that big. I have 245/40/18 Bridgestone RE760's and 245/40/18 Hankook RS-3's. Hope I won't have this problem.

he has 225's right now lol

 

265-275 street tires, lowered, R comps if its in the budget, -1.5* camber at least all the way around, I am running 10k/8k combo for springs on my coilovers.

You don't need any special bushings. Just get decent tires. Road imperfections can cause a lot of torque/bump steer as well.

 

That's the type of response I was looking for.

I am well aware larger tires will help and that's why they are coming very soon.
Coilovers might have to wait a little while tho.

what others Like me are trying to pound into your head is its not only about larger tires, but the compound its self!

A 255 R888/RA1/nt01 for instance would all have better grip then a 275 star spec or worse...some 275 nexxen tire

I'm not sure that Negative camber would help you much going in a strait line, but what could help is a bump steer correction kit installed at the same time as any coils


you keep saying your gonna go for a big tire but I haven't seen you talk about which tire.

 

What if I one doesn't want to spend 200+ a tire for some R888's. Would Nitto 555R's do the trick or some other comparable drag radial.

 

the tires I mentioned are just for the example, I would probably get Hankook RS3's

they are a very sticky tire and cheap (equal to or better then NT01's) they are actually good for road racing but the downfall is the soft side wall which I can only guess will make it better for drag.

RS-3's are 127 a tire shipped (and are a street tire)

 

I will probably end up going with BFG KDW2. I ran 3 sets of them on my 350z and absolutely loved them. You get 90% of the dry performance of any other tire and they are amazing in the rain. I was able to get 30k miles out of each set to with a tread count of 300.

nt-01's have treated me ok im on 225-45-17's and cut a easy 1.6 60' last week on them 1st time down the track

 

you dont want drag radials or r compounds for the street, sure theyll handle good but when your replacin them once a year, ull be kickin your own a$$..haha, but if you want a good selection of tires here they are: General Exclaim UHP, Continental Extreme Contact DW, Nitto Nt01 are decent but will wear fast, Yokohama Advans are stockers are pretty good. If your on 17's which u said u were, look into either a 2554017, or if you wanna roll your fenders with the right offset wheels you can squeeze a 275 40 17, a 225 35 17, holy crap thats almost a full inch smaller then OE maybe more. Theres most of your issue right there. So there ya go, this recommendation comin from someone whos been certified in tires the last 4 years, so take my advice as you will, and good luck op.

 

well i would never buy a 300 tread wear tire (for my evo)

KDW's are a good all around tire but...

you have to make sacrifices if you want more grip, check out the Star spec's although there not really a value anymore compared to RS-3's the wet handling is very good and the dry grip should be far better then KDW's
