Shawn has RE050s????

I love these tires but replacing them every 12k miles can get annoying. For the price of two rears I only paid $30 more to get all four Kumhos. On top of that they're wider on all corners.

Is it lowered?
I had 17's and they looked too small. And yeah, it's dropped about 2" front and rear.

18" is kinda funky on a stock bodied vigor. If it's lowered and with a kit, it'd be better h:

I have both 17" and 18" on my Accord. Currently rolling on 18" Racing Hart M6 for the summer. 17" will be my winter setup



Btw, back to the topic,

So from the look of it, Edgeracing seems to have the best deal there is.

My next question is:

Should I stay 275-35-19 or get 285-35-19 for $40 more per tires and get a lil bit extra protection???

Excuse me if I didn't read thru all of your thread but what offsets are you getting? My WORK's were 19x9 +25 and 19x10.5 +29 in the rear and they were wrapped in 255/35/19 and 285/35/19. I would definitely recommend the 285 rear if you are getting 10.5's.

True story, only reason why snap oversteer is not as common on the AP2s because of the wider tires and less aggressive suspension. Nonetheless, the AP2 is still a very sticky car.
