i think it depends on what offsets and sizes you have because the oem rims don't look as round compared to the picture above...

I need a set of all four on stock rims on my AP2. What size of these should I get ?





I put a new pair of Kumho ecsta mx's on the rear last year and just a year later they are worn

Mixing it up, and sumitomo is much more fun to say.

I just placed my order on these tires. They are the cheapest around and have good feedback from users and review from tirerack. I have rt615 on my car, and wonder how will they compare to it.

Thanks
Philip

i'm running 215/45-17 and 255/45-17 and completely happy with the set up. i know some people that are lowered are running 245 but they're also talking about oversteer with the 215/245..

What sizes would you recommend for Volks 17X7.5 +50, 17X9 +63?

I'm thinking 225 45R17 and 255 40R17. Does that sound good or should I go with the 215/255 some people are using?

I have an AP1 if that matters.

Thanks.

I've got 215/255's on my AP2v2's at stock height and they're amazing. I have yet to hear them make any sort of sound or felt them breaking traction. There was a slight whirring at certain speeds with the top down but I think it's gone away now.

We took a tight jughandle at about 40mph with no problem where the crappy nitto all-seasons the previous owner had on would've been making all kinds of angry noises.
