You pay how much for tire rotation?? FYI, Discount Tire will rotate your tires for free

Or I just do them myself.

 

I don't pay for it, but if I had bought them at once place and went elsewhere, I would.

 

Im talkin hopefully around $80 a tire or so...check the thread...we aint talkin peanuts here brotha, he's hopefully hookin it up

 

dont ITRs need thicker tires than just 205s? i would think that with the power some of em put out 215s or even 225s would be needed to get decent launches goin

 

Since I put the icebox in, it's been harder to launch solid. It's probably got a lot to do with how cold it's been anyway, rock hard tires and all.

 

You're confused, friend. "205" refers to the tires width in mm. You must be thinking of the aspect ratio which gives you the sidewall height. In the case of a 205/50/15 tires, the "50" is the aspect ratio and an indicator of how "thick" the tire is.

You can't fit any higher than a 215 tire safely on a 15x6" ITR rim and even then, you get ballooning that will actually reduce your tire's contact patch. A 205 width is recommended. I'll be putting some 205/50/15 Falken Azenis on my ITR as soon as my 2nd set of rims come in (UKDM Type R rims)

 

when i said thickness i meant how wide the tire is and how much tire is being put on the ground. yes i know what the numbers mean

 

Okaaay.. lol, I don't see how width of tire correlates to "thickness" but whatever floats your boat

 

Maybe he meant thickness on each side of the rim? Like a 205 * 50 is only 102.5mm as opposed to 195 * 55 is 107.25mm?

I dunno either haha

 

dunno could be
