anybody have experience with tires and rims

 

Do a search on FZ4. I had them and they got too noisey at 1/2 tread. I mean Bad noisey. Got rid of them. Great traction though.

 

thanks

 

toyo fz4's suck goat nads..

 

I've got FZ4 V rated,. Traction is only A, Temp=A, wear rating 300. I don't find them noisy but wished the traction is better on the dry (esp. lateral). I don't like them in the wet. I'll be looking for new tires next Spring/Summer.

 

i have a set in 235/45zr17. good tire dry wet. i drive hard and i have never had any unexpected loss of traction. when they did break loose it was predictable. as for wear i got about 29k with before my first two of the original set wore out. (rotate you tires) in regards to noise i would say there are quieter tires out there. mine were ok. to be honest i dot really notice any tire noise unless i shut off my radio, roll up the windows and listen for it. bear in mind that any tire especially high perfomance tires will get noisy if your cars alignment is bad or the balancig has gone off. do not let the tires get choppy. once this happens you will not be happy regardless of what tires you choose. in my size (235/45ZR17) i ran them at 38-40psi (max is 51psi) and that helped me get good wear out of them also.


hope this helps and good luck with whatever you choose.
