Nismo Ray's 19' what kind of tire do you use?
 
Got my hands on a set of Nismo rays was wondering what kind of tires you guys use on your rays?I know one member used Nitto Invo but the treadwear is only 240 or so I would appreciate any input thanks guys

Oolatec 06-22-2010 06:39 PM

I have the Nittos on mine. Too pricey IMO. If you can find some Vredestein Sessantas in 245/40/19, DO IT!

These guys are legit, but if you can find them locally, go for it:

Kumho SPT's currently. Also had Pilot Sport PS2's on there before. I prefer the handling of the Pilots (stiffer sidewall maybe), but also like the price of the Kumho's.

Thanks for the info guys going tire shopping today.Oolatec read the reviews looks good but not much of a price difference from the invo maybe I can order locally?

Yeah... the Vreds are a little cheaper, but the tires are far superior in every way. A lot more for the $ IMO... :)

Im using Hankook Ventus V12 EVO K110 245 40 19, love these tires.

PetitFrereMaxima 06-23-2010 02:35 PM

255/40/19? Sweet! I have been hoping to see how it looks on a Max. Though my wheels are 19x8 with 245/40/19, as opposed to yours 19x8.5, I still want to put the 255/40/19 on it. Well, I still hope to come to OKC for the meet, so I hope I get the chance to see your tires in person. If you have some close up pics, send me a link to view.

I have read some great reviews about those Hankooks. So, no surprise you do enjoy them too. Enjoy your rubber!

If you want to do a 35 profile tire on a 19" wheels the optimum width is 275. Im currently running 265's but Im not sure if I can clear 275's.

Since we are on the wheel subject anyone use a brake dust repellent spray on there rims?I have read reviews that they can do harm to the rim in the long run

RAZ76 06-24-2010 10:49 PM

I've never used anything I like that. I just stop by the car wash every 3 or 4 days and just spray down my wheels and go.

Posted that last one for the hell of it.

Those nismo wheels look nice on all of you guys' cars that have it. Has Nismo come out with a new design yet to replace these?

06maximabadwaddle 06-26-2010 07:08 PM

Not that I know of and I doubt they will.They might make something for the 7thgen but as our 6th gens age there will be fewer parts on the market;[.Nissan is out to make the big bucks but you can probably find wheels that look very similar pretty easily.I mean at the end of the day they are just 19' alloy 10 spoke rims!

06maximabadwaddle 06-26-2010 07:18 PM

Hey Mofo!!..lol I got a kick out of that.Where did you get the stickers that cover those nasty sidemarkers?

There is the thread for your personal viewing. And to tell you the truth, I am not even done yet. In about 2 weeks or less, I will be updating thread with more pics. I am just enjoying it and when my project is complete, will enjoy the look for about a year or less and pull every sticker off. Car back to normal before July 4th 2011.

06maximabadwaddle 06-28-2010 05:07 PM
