What do you think about these tires?
Hey everyone
I am planning to a new set of summer tires. What is your opinion on yokohama avid T4? by the way my rim size is 13"...looking for 185/70/13 or 175/7013. thanks Nate |
get bigger tires/rims is my opinion
|
why should he get bigger rims? maybe he wants small light wheels. Don't give useless opinions, try to make posts that are worth reading.
Anyways, I looked up tirerack.com and found some reviews for you. They seem like excellent tires from what I've read, and these reviews are all real, not fake testimonials at all. Tire Review |
thanks for your search
the reason I am using 13" is that, they are vx rims....very light 8lbs... not the greatest looking rims though |
nahh all do whatever the hell i want to....
thanks anyway |
yeah....if I have more money I will get a nicer set of bigger rims...15" would be nice for my ef
|
i'm just saying that because you will get more traction yadda yadda
|
what are you guys using now?
|
when i get a car........ 15 lOL.... i belive perfect balance 17 very good for traction/cornering.. 13inch for taking off... so 15 is balanced

i have 15's as well....Dumbassi's old SIR's in fact. I used to have 17's, which look great on a civic, are too big and heavy in my opinion. Since the tire profile is so small i had to balance them every 3 months from all of the crappy roads here in hamilton.
I use 205/50/15. Since you would be using 185/70/13 i would suggest gettin a tire with a very stiff sidewall b/c the side wall will be rather large with your tire selection. A stiffer side wall will give you better handling through the corners. The downside of a stiffer sidewall is harder ride. Yokohama Avid T4 is a very good tire, and was among one of the few i was considering, along with Falken Azenis and Dunlop Sports. |
yes it does!, the bigger your rim the bigger your Tire will have to be!
You know what i'm trying to say! OH ya FYI, some cool stuff, well your driving the friction from the tire and the road, cause it to get hot enough that it bends the road under neath it a bit |
i heard that hankook are good too

Understandable thank you for correcting me without being an ass :)
