i'm assuming on a 8/9 wheel setup. If so I might have that same setup sometime soon. I originally went with the sumi htrz III but the first auto-x on them last week, i felt a lot of sidewall flex. even with 38/37 psi split pressure in the tires. my friend has those on his 08 si and loves them. it's either those or the good old rt615s

RT615 is a much stiffer sidwall tire, better for the S in handling. To maximize my grip and tire contact with my camber settings I run 25psi up front and 28psi in the rear just to give you an example of what yoyu can get away with with these tires.

you're gonna need to run 235 tires in the front and some serious camber w/o rolling your fenders. Plus 235 tires gonna be stretched like a mutah. Stretched tires FTL.

I say roll your fender to save your tires. Tires cost more than rolling fenders.

Trust me.... roll the fronts. If you hit a bump and rub.. You will pull the fender outwards. Not very attractive look. People here in SD call that type of fender "HYPHY".
