just got my pro series1.2 team dynaics rims in flat black and i was wondering what tire setup i shud do ?

i live in the tristate area so i defenately want something comfortable and a tire with grip

only gunna track the car maybe 3 times a year

lookin to save a few bucks and wanted to do a 245/40/17


what you guys think ??

255/40/17 is better.

9 inch rim is designed to run 255, running 245 will stretch the tires you'll lose mph b/c the side wall is thinner.

I have the same wheels by the way, running 255/40, if you really wanna do 245, do 245/45 don't do 245/40 you gonna lose mph, speed odometer reading will mess up

What offset are you getting with the 17x9's?

255/40 is the way to go

i would run the 255/40 as well, those are sum sick wheels too

255 40 17

255/40/17 is def where its at...

If you want comfort with grip Michelin PS2's (expensive though).

If you just want grip Dunlop StarSpec (not comfy, very aggressive).

Tires are completely subjective, everyone is different with what they like. Its totally up to you...

the offset to clear the brembos is a 27 and the rim is 17x9

i guess im going wit 255/40/17 !!

but i want a tire that sint going to make that hummming noise when i drive

how r the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position ??

and i was also looking at the dunlop starspec .. in what way r they nto comfortable ??

any insight wud be great i dont want to fudge up buying tires especially when cash is tight !

255/40's Kumho Ecsta affordable and great tire IMO

255/40 Nitto NT-05's. Do it, and don't look back. Best tire i've ever driven on. Grip is great. better than the star specs from what i've seen.

I have Continental DSW's in 245/40-17 (stock bbs rim though), got awesome ratings on tire rack in all categories. If you daily drive your car like me, theyre an awesome tire all around and will get you thru the snow/slush days and still hook like mad in dry conditions.

I wish Id gotten 245/45's though for the extra overall height over the 245/40. Im probably going to pick up some dot legal drag tires though once I get my car back for summer driving.

Where did you end up getting your wheels from and how much did it set you back?

i got them from a place here in queens called full throttle parts ... it set me back $950 bux !! 17x9 team dynamics 1.2 flat black i cant wait to see how these rims r gunna handle wit the billstein and swift spec r spring setup !

how will these rims handle on the 1/4 mile ??

i know there good for time attack but just wanted to see if neone has any knowledge on that subject

also how is the evo gunna respond to a 255/40 tire ?? any rubbing on turns or anything of this matter ??

i know im asking alot but i just want to see what everyone else experience is wit 17 inch rims that have a 255/40/17 tire on it

thanks !
