jake91 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 okay so im looking for new tires i would like to get a 235/55/16 but i cant find many. my budget is small. less than 100 a tire if i cant find any this size i will just go with fuzion zri 225/60/16. unless anyone knows of a better tire than the zri for less than 100 each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Yout budget does not reflect reality. 235/55R16 tires are expensive. be happy with some good 225/60R16. how much are the the fuzions in that size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdrckt_92 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I had those on my 17s and I loved them, IIRC I only paid around 70 each on tirerack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General is now owned by Continental which is a fine tire also more expensive. I know you said under $100/tire but these are $108 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 just stick with 225's. Adding a centimeter or 2 in width wont do anything noticeable for traction. Not to mention, 225's are cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake91 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 well i strayed away from the fuzions the guy at the tire shop told me that the zri out here dr rot after 20k out here so he talked me into a set of falkens they are real nice and he cut me a good deal for only 400 mounted and balanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 thats too bad. he just unloaded some crap on you. lemme guess, ze-512. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake91 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 yep whats bad about them? i havent bought them yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake91 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 though i probably will because i read a bunch of good/decent reveiws on them. i drive a stock cutlass not a autocross car, they will only be on the car for a little over a year, and they are only $400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediabandit Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I am running Falken ZE 912's on the Z34 and have had no problems with them at all, i like them more then the Pirelli's P-Zero's i had on it. Lots of grip, won't break free on hard turns and are half decent in the rain. I run 235/50/17 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake91 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 well i went ahead and ignored you guys, but i like the new tires when i floor the car it doesnt spin anymore and they really hold corners well before i went into a corner at 45 scared when the tire let loose and now i can hit the same corner at 45 and hear a small squeel but i fell confident i can go faster and they are quite anand privide a very nice ride so mabey im just lucky and as for treadwear im noy worried im only going to be driving it for a year with these then they become track tires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 wow. you forgot how to punctuate all the sudden. they will last you a year fine, but they do wear stupid fast. EVERYONE i know that has bought them said this very thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
