Also where do you buy your tires here?


dont touch dunlops they're harder and louder than most (across the board), in your TL you'll be annoyed and the car will feel noisier and cheaper esp at hwy speeds.

pss ballin, not bad. check out conti's they're always a great choice. i like bridgestone but not they're low end stuff.

like euphoric said you maybe don't need to break the bank with pss or conti's...doubt you want anything goodyear either. so checkout a decent falken or yokohama all-round sport all-season tire. (depending how 'sporty' you wanna go. yoko makes some decent models for the money. there's always toyo too.


you talking about the dunlop direzzas? i went with them, slightly better tire than the falkins, i read about how they were noisy but mine are not noisy at all. could be that the tlx is a quiet car but still, i've had yoko's that are much noisier. they are decently sticky too, no track tire but great for what they are.


There are multiple dorezzas. Dz101 and dz102, which are the junk ones...and z1/z2/starspec which are the track ones. The z2 and z1 are mad loud even on my s4. Like super ridic loud. I would highly advise against these for DD.

Btw ed wtf u have re71r what for. They wear mad quick. The tread wear rating on that tire is bogus XD people are getting like 3 days out of those tires before they cycle out



holllldddd up.

i have the dz102's on the 20's. they are plenty sticky for a street tire not to mention they cost almost $1000. you mean to tell me you guys are running basicaly track tires on the street? how hard are you taking that yonge street onramp? lol also you guys are buying $1000+ tires that wear out in two years? i didn't realize this place was that baller


Yo wut srsly. I track the car. Go through 1 set of tires annually. If u must know about yonge St, I can do that ramp at 140 on winters :p not safe to do on summers BC velocity would be way high and it's a blind corner XD

Dz102 is good for street I give it that. Sorry, maybe "crap" was a poor adjective to use. But performance wise, comparing a dz dirrezza to a z dirrezza is like night and day fa realz. Not on the same level at all. Fwiw I drove a d101 on track and it was pooooo. I know dz102 has been much improved doe. But still far behind other tires in it's segment.

oh no i know you track but most people don't. i'm saying that i can take the majormac to 400 south on ramp (long tight right turn) very hard and the tires don't even make any noise, so short of that how much performance does one need for the street?

my tires may be garbage but they are more than enough for the street i find, i mean, there are much cheaper tires out there like sailuns and shit.

+1 I agree all the way. No need for insanity on the street it is a waste. Plus it is not fun to have a less grippy tire... More entertaining on the street. As long as tire characteristics are good (steering feel, steering response, noise and wet traction etc), then that's all that matters. IMO on the street, finding a tire that feels good is paramount. I don't disagree with u here \:\)

Fwiw doe some tires do not make noise even when traction is broken. Noise is not an indication of on limit adhesion.

maybe it's just me but the 102's have all those characteristics, feelZ, steering response, great in the rain too. it could be because they are fresh but i can't get them to push even with the size of the boat tlx. i remember running bridgestone RE010's and the yoko ES100's and those were loud as shit.

Here's a dumb question, are SUV tires specific? What I mean is can I use a proper sized performance tire on my RDX or do they have to be SUV specific? Do they make performance oriented light truck tires?

Looking at a set of Bridgestone RE760's for the TLX as recommend my Allen from ST.

No they do not need to be specific

Best to ensure factory overall diameter if possible to optimize abs/esc function

And just ensure tire load limit is within the vehicle gvwr

well since it's the R and i barely drive it, let alone very far to work if i take it i can manage to run on r-comps even for dd, store them indoors during winter and it's all good. i'm just cheap (and dont have room) for a 3rd set of rims/tires to have dedicated lapping tires. usually i just run a solid sticky summer max perf (like those i mentioned) and use those for DD and lapping...they're done by the 2nd summer lol. so thinking i may just "rice" out and get like A048's for dd/lapping...waaaaaat. and yes you can take offramps and silly speeds, just sayin ;\)

Took car for test drive hoping wheel falls off. Apparently with spacers it's standard practice to have a wheel or two fly off at one point or another.

Would've been a fitting place for it to happen at markville.

I had spacers for 5 years on my 4runner and no problems.

I tore a wheel off my mustang with spacers and extended studs (replaced the stock studs with decent race studs). The safest way is use a spacer with an integrated second set of studs. The shear point is limited that way.

Thanks everyone, glad people like it. I really enjoy the lines of this car, maybe I am biased, but it sure feels like it's one of the nicer looking sedans out there once you do a few subtle mods. I was getting crazy ADD mid winter was going to get a new car, started looking at many different options, in the end decided to just throw a few mods at this one and make it last.

I used Tein coilovers, there was a sale for 30% off with an acurazine vendor so I jumped on it.

Car rides about 20%-30% stiffer than stock, but that's a combination of switching from winter tires to summers with a lower profile, upgraded rear sway bar, and uncalibrated butt dyno feelz. Can't really tell what made the biggest difference, but the car definitely feels a lot more nimble now.

I used the Ichiba V2 spacers, they are spacers that bolt up to your hub and then you bolt up your wheel to that. Like Jeff said, they are supposed to be better, we will see.

Need to schedule an alignment with level one auto and then possibly get new tires or maybe make these last a season and get the tires next year.

The spacers that I ran were also of that type, if its any consolation. (I doubt you care, thuglife)

i ran 25mm spacers like that on my RSX with the DC5R wheels because they were something stupid like a +20 offset. didn't have any problems.

IIRC 20% all around.

In the pic they look like 5%, but they are lighter than that.
