i AM UP FOR THE ECSTA MX BUT STILL LOOKING HERE ON THE ISALAND ( PR ) BECAUSE THE SHIPPING FROM TIRE RACK ( OR ANY ON THE NET ) IS WAY TOO MUCH. i CAN GET THE TOYO A1R FOR THE COST, BUT FOR A DAILY BASIS WON'T LAST ( TOO RACY FOR EVERY DAY WEAR )


I NEED A SPONSOR...!!!!!!!!! WANT TO GO TRACK DAYS SOLO 1 AUTO X OR WHATEVER THE NAME, AND GOTO KICK SOM A@#$ESS!!!

 

you might not want to hear this, but mastercraft makes a 205/45/16 in an aggressive soft tire and i wont tell you the cost but lets just say you will forget that they are mastercraft when you see them and ride them

great tires, last long time

 

mastercraft???? good grip? if I can get 205-50-15 and have good grip.....

where I found them???

 

mastercraft.com will give you dealer locations for your area and tire sizes for the zhp tire

and yes great tire, good handling and very little noise and this is on a 205 which usually is still preatty noisy in turns. I was also told they can last about 35,000 miles before replacement

they do carry the tire size your lookin for also

 

I think I would put the Kumho MX head to head anytime. Euro Tuner magazine did a test here at Tire Rack for the magazine and the MX was the best on the skid pad of all of the tires.

 

I have the Goodyear GS D3's 195/50/15 and I love them. Amazing grip until the end of the tire. Great wet traction and even better dry...

 

What is the life on those tires? I love the reviews of the GSD3's, but I wonder what the real life treadwear is.

 

On a car like the Fit you are looking at 20K to 30K. The handling is exceptional in both wet and dry with the GSD3. They have a 40.00 mail in rebate on a set of four tires till Friday.
If I can help let me know.

 

I use 205/45-16's (tire name/brand on my sig) and love them. Not the absolute best for dry traction, I just wanted an overall good all weather tire that had really good grip in dry, good in wet and snow conditions. Living in NY I need that bit of traction in the snow. Thread life is supposed to be excellent, at least according to the specs listed on tirerack.com, and I have no rubbing issues whatsoever with my stock suspension, even fully loaded with three passengers and a ton of photo and video equipment - but that could be due to the +45 offset of my rims as there's little difference between my tire diameter and the diameter of the stock 15" tires that came on my Fit.

 

Thanks Jim for the quick info. I'm saving up for a set of SSR's and I wanted to mate them with a great tire. I was also looking at the BFG Sports and the Bridgestone Potenza in the same class. The real deal is that I'll be commuting A LOT and as much as I'd like a set of GSD3's, I don't want to run through them too fast. What's the real world treadwear on the stock Dunlops?

 

You are looking at around 20K to 30K depending on how you drive the car.

 

I'll put TOyo A1R if I had the money to change them often, but then my choice will be KHUMO ECSTA MX ( KU15) Jim has them at a good price. Too bad the shipping to Puerto Rico is SO BRUTAL..

 

Yeah the shipping might be brutal but the weather is always great. I think I would go for the more freight and the sun and beach.

 

yOU GOT ME THERE

bUT WHAT i AM SAYING HERE IS THAT i CAN GET THE TIRES LOCALY FOR LESS. IF I WERE ON THE STATES ( 48 LOWER) THEN I COULD BUY YOUR TIRES BLINDFOLDED PLUS I AM ADVISING TO BUY FROM YOU (THE KHUMO ECSTA MX)

BY THE WAY JIM... THAT PICTURE IS FROM PUERTO RICO

 

I'm not really sure I would say 20K

 

These are what I am putting on mine when the car comes in. The tire has good wet and dry traction ratings. I will post when my car comes in and I get to take them for a hot lap.

I pumped my tires up to 36 psi all around on cold tired and 3 weeks later.. i checked tonight, cold tires and the fornt are at 32psi and back at 34psi.. is it normal to lose 2-4 psi in a month??? i think there might be a small hole in the front 2 tires?
I just bought the car and don't have any warrenty info on the tires.. do i just bring it back to the dealer for a test by honda?

 

It doesn't sound too out of line. Check this out:

and ther is also tire gauge accuracy and variation...

 

totally normal.

 

yoko AVS are the best for dry traction, in rain you drift, and you have to replace them every 9000 miles. I just don't get why people spend so much money on high brand soft street tires that don't last very long cause of normal driving and don't funtion in anything but perfect weather...those people should just buy a beater and a motorcycle.
