Is it a summer car? If not, do you have winter tires?

wtf lmao clearly he wants summer tires for his summer rims

My recommendation from experience, stay away from Kumho Ecsta's I have a pair and unless you're racing circut and heat them up nice they suck ***, otherwise they rock.

Seen, i never liked my Kumho's due to cheap quality. Rolling on Falken 615's. Freaking sick track/street tires. So i highly suggest Falken.

I had General Exclaim UHP tires on both of my Si's and i never had any complaints. They were great tires for the price, wore very well, good in the rain, quiet and they actually did ok the few snow days I drove through.

that size with that drop you'll more than likely need to roll your fenders.
they sell the uhp's at Crappy Tire. They seem good but when I worked there I'd get about 1 car a month that'd been through multiple alignment since getting those tires only to have me warranty the fronts and the car would stop pulling to one side. I guess they're good for the price range your looking at, just get them somewhere that will warranty them if one's no good.

alright guys thanx
Yea majority of people tell me to go with falcons.
Now by rolling my fenders what do youmean, would i be able to do it manaly or a shop will have to? i acually only want the top of the tires to be tucked. id ont want it so low that its uncomftorbale to drive ( which is the price to pay when you drop your car right) my buddy just dropped his integra, it sits 3 inches off the ground. such a shitty ride now tho. i smash my head off his roof haha.

I really want a nice stance. inbetween the stock stance and a low rider stance. i also have a lip kit all the way around. so that helps out a bit.
Mabey should igo for a 1 inch to 1 1/2 dropp?

What do you guys think?

Thanx again

rolling your fenders means putting a broomstick or baseball bat in between your tire and fender and driving 3ft so that the broomstick flares the fender slightly.
