I had 050's when I bought it, and loved em, but i later went for looks and got wheels that were NOT good for the S...

GREATLY regretting that decision, got the Sumi's and love them. Cant be beaten for the price.

215/45-17 and 255/40-17...

i just came back from a quick drive test drive after they fixed the toe alignments and WOW WHAT A TIRE!

i was able to drive it about 7-8/10th with the vsa off on our freeway loop on ramps and i'm very impressed so far. there was a little very little trace of understeer when you go beyond 8/10th and i found it difficult to coax some oversteer. i'm not sure if the 215/255 combo had more to do with it but under 8/10th driving the car is very very nuetral and above 8/10th it all depends on what lines you take for you to see under and oversteer but under a normal driving line you will feel a little understeer.

also my definition of 7-8-9/10th might different from yours. i had my buddy with an evo mr ride with me one time at a palomar mtn run and he said i was driving 8-9/10th where i thought i was doing 7-8/10th. this is from a guy with tons of track time at willow and infineon raceways under his belt.

i'm more intrested what the tires can do with the vsa on at palomar mtn. whenever i do mountain runs i always have it on and there are a lot of people in here that would say, why? there's no fun in having it on but my thinking is if i can drive 7-9/10th at palomar and not have the vsa go off then i'm driving the car pretty good. i've had the vsa kick a few times going downhill on palomar where i had too much entry speed and i always try to keep it clean going in but i am a very late braker. i usually go in very hot and maybe i'm a little spoiled with the S brakes and i do everything i can not to upset the balance of the car at entry and mid-turn but i feel if vsa doesn't go off then i'm driving pretty clean.

they're similar from what i can feel but i need more time. where i took the car doesn't really challenge the sidewall stiffness that much but i know a place that would.

Man I did the 3 day shipping and I got em in 1 day... lol but thats because I live really close to one of their warehouses

TRDLiquidSilver

depends on where they ship and where they're going to.

P-CarDriver

well it said it was going to take 2days so i was wondering if there estimates are usually right

TRDLiquidSilver

one thing i do like with the new tires it lessened the gap from the top of the tire to the wheel well. i had a 4 finger gap with bald RE050 and now its 3 with HTR-Z3...

Their shipping is spot on. I oredered a set of Kumhos from them for the wife's MDX and they showed in about three days. Shipped from the AZ warehouse to me in Washington state.
