There's absolutely nothing wrong with these for AP1 wheels.

 

You have been warned. Ask any of the many people I showed these to before I mounted, they all agree they are flimsy. One passenger even noticed the ride without being prompted.

 

so because a tire feels flimsy to the touch UNMOUNTED, that equates to poor ride quality?

 

Well the issue here is I'm not expecting 225/50/16 star specs to feel like 255/45/17 in the rear. As long as these in stock ap1 sizes will compare well with OTHER tires in the same size, I'm good.

 

You won't be disappointed.

 

i would not expect the same sidewall firmness/ steering response when jumping to a smaller wheel/larger sidewall also.

 

forsure it cant be expected.

however you will not be disappointed with these tires the traction is amazing and in wet too!

 

Haha I don't think I'll have that problem, as I've always been on my stockie 16s. Cheers!

 

trying to decide if i should get these, the Dunlop Sport Max TT, or the Continental DW tire (Max Performance Summer) for my AP1 stock rims. price is about the same for a set (plus or minus a few dollars). i have been looking at all reviews for a while (currently running Goodyear GSD3 tires). i am running a basically the UK alignment (-1º, -2º camber, .24º total real toe) with less toe for better tire wear and tire life is a priority along with grip/handling.

 

I imagine the Continentals will last a significantly longer amount of time than the Dunlops, but the Dunlops will easily out grip the Continentals.
