Ya good luck finding a 245/35/16 tire. I would like to say that it almost doesn't exist.
toyo makes that size tire
my ep is white...
- We can talk numbers all you want, but the bullshit stops when the flag drops...
Yes, Toyo makes the T1R in that size. I can't personally vouch for the T1R but they should be good for aggresive DD. http://www.onlinetires.com/user/vehi...allbrands.html
I just put a pair of 225-45-16 R1R's on the front of my ep3 and beat several cars in the class above me running racing slicks! I'm definitely a Toyo believer now.
how are those r1r feeling like? wear and so on?
they are really cheap, around half the price on a r888...
They feel on the "soft" side feedback wise but they also feel incredibly sticky. So far (I've only had them 2 weeks) I've done one event and about 500 commuting miles and they seem to be wearing surprisingly well. I didn't have any on-track practice time but was able to break them in and figure out roll-over pressures. I am running these about 15 psi less than my old Falken 215's. After searching online the concensus is that they like lower pressures and I would have to agree. I also learned that they are constructed from the same compound as the r888 - just with a street tread (and 140 UTOG). They also work excellent in the wet! I only have the 2 fronts now and am running my old 205-55-16 Bridgestone 050 P.P. on the rear. The local shop accidently ordered four when I only wanted the two so now I am debating putting them on all corners. The only car that beat me in ST class last week was a well driven 2.5 ltr. 4 whl drive Subaru on Dunlop Star Specs. They were my first tire of choice but the Toyo's were available on easy payment plan by special order from local Les Schwab.
My new setup
Front:
17x9 +35
245/40/17 Z1
-3.0 camber
Pulled fenders about 1/2 inch
Rear:
17x7.5 +48
225/45/17 Z1
-1.8 camber
Rolled fenders
No rub :)
^^bastard lol..
My setup
Wheels: RPF1s 17x9 +35
Tires: 245/40/17 Nitto Invo
Drop: Nothing as of this moment, waiting for time to put suspension in.
Mods: Rears rolled
Issues: Even with rears rolled about half, i rub like hell stock height, but im also stock specs on camber as i havent got my whole setup yet. Ill get some pics tonight.
My car looked like such a monster truck on my 17x9's at stock height. I had rear camber arms though so no rubbing issues. I bet you cant wait to get lowered eh?
