(Nitto Neo Gen 215/40ZR18": $134)
I was just wondering if these tires would do me any justice for cruisin or doin alittle speedin:thumbsup. The price looks great, cause who isn't lookin for good prices, but I need to know if the quality is good. If anyone know about nitto, or can give me any suggestions, I'd appreeciate it. This site is decent, I bought some AR wheels like 6 months ago from them, came in like three days. Thanks guys!

Your gonna run 215's on an fbody?

:wstupid

why would you want to do that? that's 30mm skinnier than the stock tire. it wouldn't look right IMO, but then again, i had 275/17 & 315/17's on the car at one point and now have 325/15 on the rear.

[GHOSST]

Thanks guys, exactly what I needed:thumbsup. I'm a recent Z owner, so I need suggestions up the ying-yang. Thanks!

I guess it doesn't help that I have 18" wheels does it? :confused

[animal]

I have 305/45/18's so I'm a little biased to anything skinnier :D

try TIRERACK.COM

[GHOSST]

What type are they? Where'd you get them, and how much??? :thumbsup

[Crawlin]

i have plenty of friends with 18" rims, they are just wider rims that can fit a wider tire. we should start at the beginning though, what size rims do you have right now, 18" by what? stock rims are 16x8

[GHOSST]

Right now I have the 16" stockies, the Wheels I have sittin here are 18x8.5

[Crawlin]

i don't think a 215 would fit on a 8" rim, i think it would definitely look really weird. i'd start looking into the sizes of 245 or at most a 275 size

try TIRERACK.COM
Yeah, bought tires from them before. :thumbsup

[SlowStee]

my tires will be here tomorrow from tirerack :cool2: :cool2:

[GHOSST]

Yeah, there tires seem to be geared towards compacts, but they sell hella wheels for domestics. Good site, I like em:thumbsup.

[Bad-TSi]

Yeah, there tires seem to be geared towards compacts,
Naa man, they got BFGs and ****. Best price on Comp T/A's that I found.

You will not fit 215s on an 8.5 in wheel. The thinnest you could go would be 245.

If you are cruising and having alittle fun, you don't need to spend the money needed for Nitto tires.

What's your budget like?


FoRmuLa_DriVa,
how many miles have you put on your 711s? I've been told they don't hook to well, but they do ok cornering. The main problem I've been told is the tread life.

[SlowStee]

only had them on for a few days now, i can hook them pretty well with the 3.73's even, im very satisfied so far, considering i paid only 56 bucks a tire :-P :wooo

[TransAm12sec]

Even better, I was told they bite better with more wear.

[GHOSST]

Budget's not to hot, so I'm thinkin of going with the 245's

[TransAm12sec]

If your going with an 8.5 inch wheel, the thinnest you should go would be a 245.
