I got Yokohama AVID Envigors 245/45R/18 all around. Damn its so much better than the stock dumloops.

 

Can you post a pic of front wheel? Curious as to what a 245 looks like on 7.5 in. Wheel. Thanks in advance.

 

I'll get a pic this weekend, and the stock oem 18" are 8in wheels.

 

totally forgot to post, here are the yoko 245/45/18 envigors

They are not noticeably bigger when looking at the side, but looking from behind is another story I should of taken before/after pictures.

Grip quality is absolutely better in every way compared to the lame oem dunloops. No more slips, and i have 999% better grip on wet pavement. And traction control rarely shows up anymore. Not afraid to go past the 2K rpm line on wet pavement anymore (still stay under 4K lol)

 

How does the steering input feels with bigger tires? Are you planning on lowering since 45 series will show more fender?

Thanks,
Ron

 

Thinking about running the same tire ratio but with the 970AS

Steering feels a little heavier at first, but that seems to always happen when I get new tires. After 2 weeks, it seems normal now, which is very grippy. No intention on lowering yet, don't really notice a difference in height on fender. Its suppose to be only a 4mm difference in total diameter, I think that's hardly noticeable. I plan on getting the most out of my current suspension, and avoiding driveway scraps for now. Once my current suspension gives out(probably never huh?), I plan on moving to coilovers, or w/e is best at the time

 

Oh, a PSI question, when i got the new tires, they filled it to 40PSI, is that right?? Car specs says suppose to be 34psi. I lowered it back down to 35PSI, trying to get the center to wear more since the inside is suppose to wear more. Took it out to dealership for only oil change the next week, and they bumped it up to 38psi when i checked. These are all cold readings. What is the correct PSI???

 

Do you have any pictures showing the whole car with your new tire set-up? They look awesome though...

Ron

 

Don't have any pics of whole car, should of done it when i washed it. It'll be a while before i wash it again for another pic I might forget by than. Its nothing special, just looks like a normal stock blue slate g37 coupe with a shinier stillen exhausts

 

I have the stock Dunlops with only 14,000 miles which are terrible and they're coming off this summer for a pair of BS RE760AS.

So um well 245/45/19s all around work for the coupe? Since stock is 225 and 245 right? i'm thinking about putting the same all seasons around.

 

Did you find out the proper tire PSI for both front and back?

Thanks,
Ron

 

earthmaster, not these were 225/50/18 stock all around upgrade to 245/45/18. The 19" rim have different widths in front and back, don't think you should do the same thing.

Ron, nope. I'm just sticking with 35PSI. Ideally, you should be going by the car specs, which is 34psi. I believe PSI on a tire spec shouldn't change with different widths because the load psi is still the same. I pump 1 or 2 psi more, b/c there is a stock negative camber that causes more wear on the inside of the tires. I'm only hoping to offset this inner wear by putting more wear in the center.

RE760AS are a good choice , but too overkill for me For the price, and purpose, I went with Yokos Avids W4S. Not as good for icy roads, but i don't drive on icy roads . They are just as good as the re760as on dry/wet conditions, so i thought that's the best bang for buck quality.

 

Thanks!
