i'd say all season.. personally... cuz more convenient and you don't have to get winter tires when the season hits again...

plz all season performs pretty well.. just a bit expensive though... u'd get a tight ride from it... i'm using them too... LOL [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

i have winter tires already so i can get some low pro's semi slicks hehe

the stock firestones were allseason werent they?
i didnt like em one bit
they died after one winter
ran well the first winter but after last summer it was over

if you put low pros on 15" rims, your H&R springs won't be low enough and it'll look SUV again...if you can it with coilovers with 15" low pros it'll look sweet...friend of mine did that with his SiR '00...

supyo ... i'm going 195/55/15 rubber on the '00 sir rims .. i believe this is the stock spec for the rim ...

do it up !.

yoooo supyo get 205/50/15 for the summer hahhahaha
they rock dude!!!
that would lower ur ride more but hey its alright not that low [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
nice nymbus wat kind of tires u getting? i think i need to replace 2 of my tires!

If you stick with your stock 15" Si rims, you're best bet would be 205/60/15 for maximum grip and minimal deviation from stock diameter. That is not very low profile. If you go low profile on 15", you'll end up really screwing up speedometer and odometer measurements, in other words you'll be tacking on more miles to your car than you really are driving. Plus the wheels will look just plain small. Low profile looks good only when its contrasted to a large alloy.

dont do it, you'll screw up the cars natural overall suspension geometry!

or in other words.
ur going faster!
hahaha who cares im in 205/50/15 and its only on the summer
why are u guys worrying bout the speedometer and odometer?
u only worrie bout it if ur selling the bloody car.
im keeping this sucker!! i got big plans for it
how is it going to messed up ur geometry?
i know for sure thats its going faster. hahaha
we want our rides to look lower than they really are. i dunno its just me
i just dont want to be a lowered SUV!

nono, thats not all
when you change overall tire circumferance you are changing the wheel radius. When you change wheel radius, your car will be lower to the floor, but this doesnt occur at the point there the shocks and springs are, this occurs at the poin where your wheels connect. So what occurs is your whole car is lower to the ground. One must remember though that our tires dont meet our bodies at a perfect 90 degree angle, they are slanted &lt;thats what we term chamber&gt;. So when you change the cars natural wheel radius, what it was designed to handle, you are changing this angle and the cars camber settings. This will also leave your ball joints further open to damage. If you do go threw with this, I would definately recommend checking allignment and camber, you will mostly require a camber kit with a steep grade of camber correction because by changing tire radius, you will also be chaging ride height and now you have taken two variables and spun them around instead of just one.

so what ur saying we should lower our rides cuz we are changing da ride height?
hahaha
alright. makes sense to one point.
its up to the person who wants to do it then.
im down with it i dont mind haha
smaller pro means better handling for me!

you mean wider pro...

 
Rep Power: 0

huh..yea what u said machina hahahahahaha
yea wide is better and so is lower pro
i have bad experience with firestones and i wont go back to them
65 profile? pop like balloons!

That sounds about right Rockford, because the tire is overall smaller, it would adjust the geometry of suspension travel. I suspect that this would affect the front MacPherson struts more than the rear double-wishbone which minimizes camber changes throughout travel.
