R888R - I never see rain 😁
Do you heat cycle?
@@jdm8702 good or bad heat cycle? Good, yes. Bad, no, I don't want to go through them and cough up another $1300 for each set I need. 😵
Direzza Z3's
Can you do a video of how to lower your car in steps
Like I got wheels and Coilovers
And center role joints
Need tiers and don’t know the steps to figuring watt do first to
Find out watt tier I can squeeze and won’t rub so just like a step-by-step video on what actually goes down first to last including bushings and putting wheels on and finding the measurement for the tire and rolling fenders to where do I start ?
Make a vid dudes
Rubber is very important. It can mean the difference of security or 18 years of headaches. Ohhh wait wrong rubber and video 🤣
You made my day
🤡 😂
😐
Chase Jones LMFAOOOOOO
No you were right sir 👏👌
Driving an AWD car and only replacing the front tires and then wondering why your center diff is so mad at you.
RIP lmao
Lol seen that alot
I got lucky. Tired shop guy warned me so I bought a full set but he told me about some horror stories.

This exact thing has killed 3 infiniti xfer cases i've seen. They HATE any kind of stagger
🔥If your reading this I hope you get your dream car🔥

In California, Summer tires is all season tires
+1 texas
Florida
sad
*cries in Massachusetts*
I live in San Diego. "All season tire?" What...what is that?
I did not understand a single measurement he said.
Yea he lost me when he start saying numbers
I used an online calculator to compare my old rims plus tire size and reverse engineered a match to wider rims.. My 18x7.5 with 225/45 looks the same with 18.x8.5 with 255/40
I took 3 months of looking checking, price comparing, reviews reading, etc etc before I ordered a tire wheel set for my Camaro. It was all worth it. I love how they look and I get a lot of compliments on it.
Changing your tires does not affect your alignment. You need to balance so the tire sits evenly but it doesn't affect your alignment
I made the mistake of getting 205 on a 17x8 thinking I was gonna fit in with all the cool kids. Big surprise I wasn't, since then I'm sticking with 225 since more meat means more ride comfort without much sacrifice to sportiness.
Didn't know jack about tires when wanting to buy my wheels. Spent 3 weeks reading about tire sizes and what all those numbers meant plus going to that Fitment Industries website and looking at exactly what I wanted. Turned out amazing and I didn't have to get embarrassed at the tire shop when getting them installed because it actually looked like I knew what I was doing lol
My “TPMS” light is on and I ain’t worried about it. That’s the only light on my dash and I’m happy about it💪🏾😂
Just check your pressures fairly frequently, especially if you have stretched tires. They tend to need a higher psi as well so you dont de-bead
@@dkaplan100 maybe he just needs new sensors
Here's the thing. It is impossible to tell if low profile tires are low on air or even flat. Especially at night. For less than $50 I have screw-on caps. They have accurate temperature and pressure sensor valve caps.
They transmit real time info to a solar-powered head unit. NO WIRES or internal sensors!!!
You can even rotate your tires...just keep the valve caps in the same place.
Batteries in valve caps last a couple years and are user-replaceable.
All sorts of customizable alarms can be set by the user. Amazon baby!
It amazes me how many people *don't check and adjust tyre pressure regularly*
GAHD DANGIT WITH THE Z32 HITTING THE TREE 😂😂😂 giving us a bad name
5:56 that actually happened to me after I had mounted my TSWs, but then the car stopped being stupid and finally cleared the TPMS light as I had transferred my factory TPMS over to my new wheels instead of having to drop more money for a new set.
As for All Season tires, I live up here in Colorado and I'm always hitting the mountains, but I'm hitting those corners hard and fast in BFGoodwrich Comp 2 A/S tires. I've never ran any other tire because of just how bi polar our weather is. It can be super duper nice out, perfect for hitting the mountains and suddenly your hit by the massive amount of snow or heavy rains the next day, but then the day after it can bright and sunny again or Colorado's most common weather type during everything except Summer: Boost Weather.
All Seasons have never failed me, they stick alot more than you'd think in good weather and grip when they need to during snow. Maybe get a teeny, weenie little wheel spin with them when up in the mountains because I do like to leave my ST without TC and ESC on because I can't be alittle bitch, but when I do leave them on, the car sticks to the ground with those tires.
you'd say they are better than dws06? im looking for good all seasons and my car came some perrelli cinturos they are pretty decent but i want to get some really nice tires around $500 total
Rookie mistakes when getting your car wrapped.
Check "CK Wraps" channel.
Doing it yourself lol
Pro mother-humping tip!
Not every 275/40/17 are all the same as far as how the tire sits on the rim lip.
Some tires sit inside the lip and some sit a little outside.
Found this out the hard way...
Rookie mistake when buying anything: Your car parts are all important, don't get cheap car parts. Buy our parts.
General tire g-max rs 245 40 on 18” wheels for my Acura TL 2012 was the best decision. Take turns at twice the posted speed with no loss of traction
I put my stock 245/35 on my 19x10.5 wheels because they only had 2k miles on them and it was a real pain in the ass finding a shop willing to do it for less than $300. Most Shops hate stretching tires... at least here on Maui
Toyo
Falken
Hankooks
P.S i order my tires on a friday got them on a monday . yall shipp fast
#plug
I have falken fk 452 and they stick like glue when they're wormed up, good tires for the price
You forgot Nitto
@@rhyno514 please tell me this is edited purely because you changed it to worm...
I got a Mk4 golf slammed 205/40/18 all around on 18x8.5s
Perfect amount of stretch
That slapping 185's on 12-inch wheels looks cool..
picked up some Advan Racing GT wheels and gonna set them up on Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's for my 370z and have them mounted in about 1.5 weeks. can't wait!
Video helped me so much! Closing in on making that purchase!
Glad we could help! Thank you for your support!
Great tips, but you should mention one thing rookies don't do when buying tires. Thanks to UTQG, you can actually gauge how fast a tire will wear out, and also, how much traction they can give. Only winter tires don't need/have UTQG so don't freak out if they don't have it.
UTQG of below 200 is usually very grippy tires and wear out faster, and the bigger numbers means they last a lot longer, with the corresponding decrease in performance.
Great tip about the TPMS, for me they are a wallet saver as running low on tire pressure on expensive tires can really eat your wallet alive, and makes for a great peace of mind. Warning light comes on, then it's time to check all the tire pressures, some even come with temperature sensor so it's great to see if the tires are overheating.
Buying used tires with plenty of threads while not checking the manufactured date. Slap on my car and it was hockey puck hard and wore out like it was made of chalk.
I have a Nissan 370Z sport 6MT and when it came time to replace the OEM Bridgestone Potenza S007 tires, that only got about 15K miles on them, I went with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. The upfront cost of the Michelins was higher than most, but the cost per mile over the 35K miles that I ran the tires was actually less than most of the 23 other brands of tires that I had been considering. This tire was a 300tw tire that was warrantied for 30K miles, but was cut in half because I have a staggered fitment that wouldn't allow tire rotations. The tires wore completely uniformly across the tread and even still had a little tread left when I replaced them after 35K miles. As much as I liked the tires, the only drawback for me was the slightly vague steering and lack of high precision, that I attributed to the extremely flexible sidewalls. The replacement tires that I just put on are the Pilot Sport Cup 2(240) connect. They'll probably get less mileage but the steering definitely feels better and the ride quality hasn't suffered noticeably. They won't be as good on wet roads but that is not a problem for me.
The moral to the story is that sometimes there is real value in some of these better tires, even if they are more expensive initially. Do the research on the tires that match your driving style and the road conditions you expect to operate in and don't be afraid to spend a few bucks more for a good tire. You won't be sorry in the long run.
I have been watching ur videos for a while. Please make everything you need to know about HANKOOK tires. And doing some review on the Ventus line. Thank you!
Just yesterday I got new tires from the new wheels I got from your website 🙏🏻 had to cop the Michelin sport 4s, Loving how my fitment looks
I have the same tires and I love the amount of grip and treadware!
josh dominguez how much did u pay for em, everywhere i check is like $300 plus per tire
I've only ever bought new tires in pairs for the front and then proceeded to buy every used tire for the rears cuz all I ever did was burn tires street drifting lol. I actually purchased my first brand new set of r888 tires for my Stagea last year and I turned 35 this year 😂🤣😂
I've never had a prob have had staggered ,squared , and regular setups have always picked it right and never regretted my tire size I pic on a aftermarket setup ..thanks for the in depth tho
So i got this razer headset with haptic feedback and it vibrates my face when low noises come. Long story short when I hear the intro sounds it feels like I am in ur intro
Good info!!
Measure twice, cut once. It's 2019, there are so many forums, and websites, that have pictures & build threads. You should only blame yourself if you buy tires, and they aren't what you thought they would be. DO YOUR RESEARCH!
Not a tire elitist but general GMax and ohtsu fp8000s have both done great for me
Ahaha that starting your tyre search from rear tyres is far too relatable.
Awesome! Dude!
Michelin PS4S FTW 🤘🏼
My mistake was running Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval AS on an 09 Impreza. It didn't take long for those tires to sound like truck tires. The ride was ok, it lacked in the water traction department but they did last a good bit.
What’s wrong with them
linus sebastian of cars ...
Summer Tires always! Because Summer is always on my mind! Ready to send it in the snow LOL
Finding this charm from the past, I just got 245/45R17 tires on my ND Miata was not paying attention to the aspect. If only I saw this video from 3 years ago sooner.
What the best tyre on 14" wheel?
Any recommendations.
Driving a Honda fit gk3
Have 18x9.5 with 225/40. Put those on with stock suspension and I cried. Bought coilovers and slammed it. I feel better.
I wish I knew about the tps on my g37 before a bought my setup cuz it's Christmas everyday bois!
My advice has always been: Buy the best that you can afford
Haha he's so funny, love it!
Great vid!
recommend a good replacement TIRE for my 2015 Camry SE? ALL OEM.
I prefer Contennental brand
Toyo sport for me love them
Alex what is the best fit wheels and tires for my MR2 SW20 model if I wanna run some 18s?
I have Kapsen Icemax Winter Tire on my 2013 Hyundai Veloster (on stock wheels), while I have Kelly Edge All Season on Touren TR9 Wheels.
Hey FI guys, I just want to note. I tried to work with you guys on getting my wheels and tires mounted and I kept getting bounced around to different 'teams' before I eventually gave up. Love the videos but that needs work!
Nobody: Alex at 9:25: GUESS WHAT WE DONT DUDGE😭love the channel 😂💪
My biggest mistake was buying 100 treadwear tires for the street and expecting good life out the rears. Forget about it!!!!
I switched to Michelin Pilot Super Sports 300 treadwear and now getting incredibly good life on my E46 M3.
Not exactly track tires but great for the street.
265/35-18 squared.
Yaaay thank you Lol I need help with tires soon.
With* 😅 I swear my spellings not that bad Lol
What about a meaty tire setup on stock wheels? I wanna get my stock wheels refinished
I run 205/50R17 I prefer 50 side wall over 45 due to the roads being shitty over here.
I have a question. So I would like to get the Michelin Pilot sport 4s and when I go on your website, there are many types of that tire. I am overwhelmed and don’t know which one of them to get. I would like to put them on a 2007 BMW 3 Series 335i with Niche Essen Matte Black 20x9 35.
Pirelli all seasons on my Q50 right now. I live in NYC
what music dod you use in the backround? really like the track :)
I need some advice for my Hellcat. I want something that has good grip in the summer and isn’t to bad in the rain. But also isn’t going to only last 5k miles. Any advice?
G-force comp 2’s, very good tire to start on
The reviews were good, and the price was right, but I won’t be buying them again. Look is weird, and they slip for me in the rain, and I’m driving cautiously.:/
Lel. Running 255/35 R20 ExtremeContact Sport tires on my Ford Fusion Sport :l
$1200 tires :(
What would be the best tire and rim size for functionality and looks. On a Volvo v70 2000 Base model, that will be driven on the regular? Thank you.
I went Nexen partly due to forum recommendations for all season/grip but also because they're Korean and I drive KDM so I kinda wanted to keep the theme all around.
Did AutoX a few weeks back and was sick of the ass end kicking out and not having much grip. I had all season tires that came with the car ('15 Hyundai R-Spec Coupe). I went big and got 225/245 Michelin Sport Cup 2s. I also have 20mm /25mm staggered set up. Haven't gone to the track but from road use I can tell a major difference. Whenever I would do normal daily driving and corner and very mildly accelerate I would get wear hop. Like 2k rpm wheel hope in 2nd, ridiculous. The power definitely feels more planted. Since they are rated Extreme Performance Summer I was expecting a more rough ride but not the case and actually an improvement. I must have had really shitty tires before. The one downside and this is nitpicking but the tire look is too busy and doesn't look as clean. It's not that big of a deal. I see high end cars x5 the value of my car running these types of tires so I may have went a little overboard but so far so good. When I heard them mentioned in the video I feel even better after with the purchase.
What camera do you guys shoot on?
Great work I love meaty setups 🍖🍖🍖 my wrong was I wanted flush but got tucked so I got meaty to compensate but I still need some negative offset to get it right I hope I can next time 🤣🤣😂😂👍👍👍
Its good info to have when shopping for what you're looking for vs what they and yourself have available.. Me personally, doesn't affect everyone but for Tires: same price as my local tire shop and around the net prices. As for wheels, sadly you carry only Viper sizes for the 6x114.3 and thats only in Forgedstar brand and I'm not planning on hub swapping or buying bolt pattern kits..
What kind of vehicle are you looking for?
Whats a good tire size for a Honda Civic 2door Coupe. Sport Or Racing compound
This was a rookie Mistake when buying my car, Bought a GTO in Mid October in Michigan but I thought I had time to replace the summer tires. It snowed one week after buying the car, I couldn't get off of my block
My local tire shop sold me aftermarket wheels and tires a few years ago. Now when I need new tires years later. He says his shop won't touch aftermarket wheels. And nobody else within 100miles from here will neither. Very sad 😥
what's the background music on the video? 0:19
Do you know how hard it is to find tires for my first gen rx7
I have en Audi A7 with original 21" rotor wheels. It came with size 275/30 21... What tire brand and what model would you go for?, and would you go for same size?.
Rims are 20x10s wide all around, what's your spin on this setup- Michelin Pilot Sport or Nitto Motivo
[255/35 Front & 275/35 Rear] vs [265/35 Front & 295/35 Rear]...
Are we not meant to stick to factory sizes? Insurance can be invalidated in the UK if the tyres are too far out of spec from originals
Have a question: My car has 205/45/R17 88V rated tire(same size as originals). The tire pressure sticker on the car, shows 39 PSI front and rear. I don't have the original tire brand on the car but have Hankook Ventus v2 Concept2 with the above tire size. 1) The issue is that in the wet, when I take off from red light, traction control lights comes up as tires start to lose traction. I am not aggressive at all, just regular take off. 2) Turning left at speed of around 20 MPH will make the car skid a bit. The tread life is about 50% on all 4 tires. 4 wheel Alignment was done few months ago. What could be the issue? Too much pressure, too little or just bad tire brand? Thanks!
Winter Tips From Sweden.
F**k all seasons! they suck and isn’t good for anything.
In winter conditions always use real winter tiers, preferably studded ones as studded tiers are a million times better if you where to drive over a spot of ice.
But most importantly SLOW DOWN and remember that your stopping distance is greatly increased.
Tip from the UK, fuck U and winter tyres ;)
Just throw some nankangs or federals on. I prefer federals cause the tread looks sexy
If you only care about how threads look like. You should consider the life you are living.
I've been rocking cheap Federal's for the past few months but I'm about to switch to Achille's for the same price but better treadwear
Ya know I ask about nankangs at my local time shop they sold me Delintes since they are the cheapest for 275/40/20. Not sure how true it is. Nice tire but it is def not a Nitto
I’ll find out if I made a mistake when I try fitting a 205/60/15 ona 15x9 mst11 😅 hopefully I’m good 🤪
My wheels are 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear. Will 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 respectively, look good?
I want 18×9.5" wheels for square set up on an E46 M3. 265/35-18.
Same offset so I can rotate them. I'll run 20mm spacers in the rear.
I think offset of 35 will fit my fronts with no spacers. And then I run 20 mm spacers in the back.
I want concave spokes no lip. Talk to me. I run Brembo Gran Turismo BBK that fit under my current 18in Wheels which are good but ugly D-Force LTW.
Tires are four 265/35-18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport or Michelin Pilot 4s.
Running 205/40 Nitto Neogens on a 17” Focal rim. Would upload to the gallery but I can’t afford coil overs at the moment. 🥺
If you can't afford coilovers, go with sleeves, and if you want better suspension, go with kyb's. But I've had sleeves for 3 months now, zero issues, and i still have lowering springs on the rear.
Nangkang for life hell yes
What should I get? My stock size are 225-45-17 on a 335xi 08 coupe AWD 🤔 I want something thicker. Without looking stupid and having grip.. I was thinking about MichelinPILOT SPORT 4S - and potenza re-71r for the summer set up but would they be good for the streets instead of the track?
When I message FI for recommendations someone suggested 18x7.5+35 and I went to measure my stock tire and it was practically the same and this would look like crap on the car lol 😆
When purchasing new tires, what is the absolute oldest date on those "new" tires one should accept? I've heard any tire one year old or newer is acceptable. Is this correct?
I use to run pirelli tires and didn’t like them I have the Michelin pilot sport 4s, and honestly best set of tires I’ve had.
I'm thinking about some Yokohama Advan Apex tires for my Dodge Stealth. I'm running the stock rims.
biggest mistake I made when buying tires was not researching and buy ONE tire when I needed 5 but didn't have the money and the tires were Discontinued
I want some proxies R888S for my 2000 Ford Mustang gt and I’ve read the reviews on em and people say they are good at hooking up on asphalt and that do good on rain
Want some better tires for my bmw 5 series g30. Just something that stick more to the ground and makes me feel that little bit racier. Any suggestions?
Premium: Michelin and Pirelli. Mid Tier: Falken, Nitto, BF Goodrich, Maxxis, Firestone and Sumitomo.
What kind of tires is best for tramline resistance
My genesis coupe had a weird tire bug
I had 245/35/19 on the front and 275/40/19 and the car would accelerate on it’s own on a speed higher than 40 mph
What's that star rim on the rim wall called? The 16 spoke one
Sooo Sooooo truth on getting the tires mounted at wheel purchase or doing their research and getting them done at a shop with the right equipment. Save me the hassle of trying to avoid your work order and take them somewhere with a euro style center clamp hot boi mounter!! The Hunter table top machine at my work can do xxx/25 with a whole freaking lot of love, care, and patience but if that bead ever thinks of giving issue the arm is going to scrape the wheel, or i'm buying you a new tire :'(
Wait. All those numbers at first "mistake", dose it counts for EU two ? Or it is like only for america ? Like meter vs miles and km vs mph
