Heh. My car came stock with 17s, and Iâm still on the original TIRES. ? If you go with wider wheels than stock, you could step up to as much as 235, but 225s are probably the biggest I would go. The right tires would probably outdo the car! For my winter tires, I use 16â steel rims and the size...
My Talon had gotten like that, though it wasnât so bad with AWD. Turned out the rear wheels had excessive camber, enough to wear the inside of the tires down to the belts. So Iâd think youâd notice if it was THAT bad⊠Like you said, worth checking. Heck, if you checked it first, you might be...
As opposed to making experienced, knowledgable members not wanting to bother contributing when theyâre told theyâre âuseless and unwantedâ in a toxic, disrespectful manner? ?ââïž Now who would have done THAT?
Dude, youâre talking to yourself. Itâs worrying. Please stop. ? (Or include the quote...
Yesss. Wouldnât it be even BETTER if we had ELECTRIC cars? Hmmm⊠?
âPandemicâ⊠yeah. Everything seems to be quite convenient, though someone pointed out Putinâs actions have secured a Russian hold on most of the newly-discovered oil fields in the Ukraine.
I do believe in Hanlonâs Razor...
Was just going to say everything @Benster just said. New tires/wheels? No alignment needed unless you see something strange. Or in your case, as it shouldnât be THAT unstable in the rear. New shocks/bushings/control arms? Alignment highly recommended after any of those.
6-8 psi? The LX motor will be stressed, but I wouldnât expect failure at that level if you have it set up correctly. The problem is if something else goes a little wrong, the consequences come much more quicklyâŠ
As for the flames? Well, they did dedicate an entire mini-scene to it in âThe Fast...
If youâre REALLY serious about âall-aroundâ driving, sell the 18s for a set of 17s. You wonât lose much handling, the tires are a bit cheaper and youâll have more selection. ANY tire can handle the type of driving you mention. Most people here are still talking expensive tires, but most of them...
You order them online, like anything else. I know Tire Rack has a network of places that can install them, so might be able to deliver them there. Or you take delivery and then go to your preferred tire shop for mounting and balancing. Iâve always liked Continental tires. If a tire is really...
LOL! Well, if they can make a rally car out of the 911⊠?
I would think thatâs a new tire, so most places probably havenât received any yet. What about Tire Rack or another online place?
If you can run it. Youâll probably lose 15% mileage or so, but the price can still make it worth it. Iâd say this shouldnât last much longer, but with the run up to EVs taking over, this is the âshockâ they use to make people not notice when prices settle⊠being a bit higher than they were before.
At least they put it right. It astounds me how âgreenâ some apprentice mechanics can be. I learned most of that stuff before I was 12! Though, since itâs an asymmetrical tread, I wonder how much of a difference it would have made?
Since someone didnât appreciate my first comment, Iâll abbreviate. Iâm willing to bet Iâve rebuilt more engines and cars and done more port work than most people here. So, I âmayâ know a little bit about your âturbo soundâ. Not that Iâd be willing to offer any help to someone that only seems to...
