Just mounted Advan AO48's
 

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! :lol: :eek:

+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 :lol:

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.
