As an addition to the Tein Flex coilovers, these tires are super grippy. I put them on my stock MR wheels. I got the medium compound vs. the medium hard compound, and I know they won't last me too long on the street. But for anyone looking for a lot more grip, it's a great mod.

 

its what all the JDM guys run!

 

What size did you get them and from where? I thought they only came in 18" sizes in the US...

 

I got 235/45/17's from Tirerack.

 

pics?

 

No crap? Man, last year when I was looking for some Tirerack only had the 18" sizes, anyways this is very cool. I want some for the street!

 

+1

 

You SERIOUSLY bought A048s for the street? Hope it doesn't rain.

I think that's a waste of money and a dumb idea to run r-compounts on the street, but hey, it's your car.

 

No I want some for the street. Yea I only drive my car when it's nice out.

eh, price doesnt look so attractive though. I'd probably kick up too many rocks too

 

Which should be rare in Seattle

Trust me, you don't want to run these on the street.

 

YEa very rare

Thats the only place I run though =P

 

If you really want to throw your money away on expensive JAY-DEE-EM yo tires, at least go with Yokohama ADVAN Neova tires. They are just as expensive and JDM bling as the A048s but also have the common sense factor of not running an r-comp on the street.

 

Na, ive been wanting the a048's for the past few years.

 

Ok, do you understand why running an r-compound tire on the street is dumb and a waste of money?

 

I want them too, since you can get stock size. Another member said they weren't to bad in the rain if you take it easy.
