Tires

The1Neo · 10-23-2005, 04:01 PM

I was just wondering if somebody could give me a rough estimate of how much tires would cost me if i bought 2 18x9 Chrome Saleen rims and 2 18x10 Chrome Saleen rims. Thank you

tires could range from 400 to 1000+ depending on what you would like

I have Kuhmo's now..I race quite often, and it seems like my tread never seems to be going down...They have lasted me a while, so I recommend them too..I will be switching too Sumitomo's with my new rims..Hope they are as good.

This is my .02. You couldn't give me a set of Khumo's to run. The rubber they use is too hard and I have seen person after person spin out on a road course using them. If you do 1/4 mile, I would be shocked if you could get sub. 2.0 60' times unless to really heated them up.

The best I've ever used were Potenza RE 730's which I don't think they make now. I believe there was a change and now they are RE 740's. But those are expensive. I would highly recommend Nitto 555's. I used them on my GT and now on my Cobra and they are a great tire at nearly the same price as Khumo's.

I'm not flaming those that like Khumo's, but I would love to hear from those that switched from Nitto's to Khumo's and like them.
