Tire + Rim Suggestions.

Afternoon,

I'm pretty much a complete n00b when it comes to tires so help is much appreciated. I'm looking at getting some Eagle F1, or Pirelli P Zero's.

Eagle F1's
245/40R18 $245 CAD ~Front~
275/40R18 $315 CAD ~Rear~

Pirelli P Zero's
225/40R18 $255 CAD ~Front~
265/35R18 $325 CAD ~Rear~

They are basically the same price, but which one would yield better results?

As for the rims, does anyone know where I can get Saleen Black Rims? I can't for the life of me find it anywhere.

I'm looking for these:


Thanks!

Personally myself I really like the F1's they are a soft grippy tire with a sweet design!

I have nothing bad to say about the Perelli's.

As for the rims are you looking for the real deals or knock offs?

Real deals would be nice, but quality knock off's are fine. I can't exactly imagine the real ones being "in-expensive"

If you want staggered sizes, then I'd suggest 245/45/18 and 275/40/18, closer to the original tire rolling diameter. 245/40/18 is a size for the SN95 cars.

225/40/18 is too short and too narrow, 265/35/18 is too short, again, a size more suited for an SN95 car.

Which Eagle F1 are you looking at specifically? There are a few versions of that tire. I had the F1 GS-D3 on my T-Bird Super Coupe, very nice street tire. Lots of grip wet or dry, with a smooth quiet ride.


cheers
