Well the GD3 is raised 1/2" and I am waiting to get to get the new tires mounted and the car aligned...

bad news...


Pass. tires has cord showing on inner and outer sides. Some steel belting is starting to poke out on the outer side aswell.

Drivers. has just dead tire tread and looks like racing slick...


This is all in 5 1/2 week mark... I'm glad I have the 10th AE RX-7 to drive lol

 

I think you have set the record for quickest wear on a Fit. Are you sure you were not drifting?

 

are there any companies thats planning on releasing a camber kit for the fit?

 

I have camber kit on the GD3. No I was not drifting lol. The GD3 will not drift...

 

That sounds like a challenge. I will post pics when it happens

 

We have tried a few simulations of drifting. The GD3 is not designed to drift. Once it notices the car start to drift it becomes loose then grips even more... This is at slow 15-30mph and High 90-110mph

 

i dont get it if you have a camber kit why dont you adjust your camber so you wont wear out the tires as much?
same thing with the toe too?

 

Im sure with a little adjustment on the coilovers you could get it to drift. I used to drift my 4 dr honda civic sedan with just an abrupt lift throttle on a long sweeper. A good idea of wieght transfer is key, though I am not sure how that solid beam rear reacts I need to look at it a little closer, probably check it out when I install the springs. If I ever find any I like

 

Hey I use to drift the old EG hatch with ITR in it all day, but the GD3 rear suspension is all about the grip lol

 

thats funny, I havnt pushed mine yet so I am not sure where the limit is. I want to get it out on the track but waiting for springs. Want to make it a track car but I already have 2 and dont need a 3rd

 

ok now i got a 15 * 6.5 with a 38off set. just woundering if a 205/55-15r or 205/50-15r will fit without rubbing o and i have it droped on the t1r springs.

 

Can someone recommend some light weight tires?

For our stock sport 15" rims.

I checked tirerack that lists weights of the tires, but everything
is at least 18 lbs!

thanks

 

Both of the sizes you mention will fit fine. You can also use 195/55R15 and 215/50R15 on the car.
If I can help let me know.

 

I would worry about the weight of the wheels not the tires. The tires can reduce weight at the price of reducing performance. The weights we list on our web site are shipping weights and normally they will weigh a little less anyway.

 

if you are worried about weight then u need to start with removing your entire interior. strip all the dampening material. start buying carbon parts.

if you get soooo far as to need lightweight tires...

 

wheel weight ftw tires dont count

 

Hoosier, they are pretty light compare to RA-1 LOL

 

The konig helium's at some tread in here are pretty light!!!! 10 pounds, and there are lighter ones, but very expensive

 

he is looking for light weight tires not rims

 

ok ccFit my bad........

Jimmy101,

Anyway, Light tires?????? Let that thing to car manufacturers, there are millions of things to worry and care before even think of light tires....... and instead of light tires, you should think of sticky tires which I belive is really important
