Not the ones pictured but the same model in black! I was even given snow tires with them :)

I will use them for the ice driving event I do in Nagano in february, but I think I will use them with my summmer tires after that...

I will therefore need new summer tires in 14 inches. Any recommendations for a set of performance 195/60/14?? I have to admit I don’t know much about tires so...

WAT... I have 15’s on the Z now. I got Toyo Versado Noir for my Enkeis, they feel good so far.

You can get Dunlop direzza z2 star specs in 185/60/14. I’ve heard they have really good tread life (30k miles) for an extreme performance tire.

I’m torn between saying “Congrats on the free awesome wheels” and “Fuck you for getting those for free.” So I’ll say both.

I’ll go with some more performance oriented tires though... Even thinking of going the Toyo R888-like way... I would need to find a model that fits though

Hum, never heard of those before, size looks close enough, that could be interesting... Any other idea?

Maybe Yokohama Advan A048R ? Falken Azensis RT-615K?

I will definitely look into those Falken...

As for the Advan, they are not available from Yokohama’s website anymore, so they might be discountinued?? They only have the normal A048 that don’t exist in my size...

That’s literally all the performance tires I can find in that range. I was going to pick up a set of z2 star specs for my sti, from what I’ve read they’re as good as they get. Re71’s are a bit stickier but gl getting decent tread life from them.

Jealous. Always loved those wheels.
