spotted DBull's micra on web

[edk]

Found Dave's micra posted on some foreign website I recognised the plenum and the wheels so guessed it must have been his.

gees thoes front wheels look soooooo wide

 

[5Zigen_Eddie]

225/50/15 now thats what im talking aboutt

 

[FOSSIL FUELS]

that bottom pic... the wheels and tyres must be bigger than 225... they look like lambo 300 wide tyres

 

[stani1029]

those were his drag wheels i think, im sure they were 285

 

[DBull]

BFG Goodrich Drag Radials 275/50/15

Never got a chance to use them and then sold them on...wish I had kept them now for the Almera.

 

[5Zigen_Eddie]

How did you find the drive with the toyo 225/50/15?

Thinking about getting some myself as price isnt too different to 205/55/15

might be slightly different with your car ed, his micra was pushing alot more power lol

 

[5Zigen_Eddie]

:lol: i appriate that, just wondering what the drive was like in general with them

ed. your an idiot to even consider spending more than TWICE the price of 195/50 tires to try and gain time.

yeah. you MIGHT get a better launch. but you will lose T.V as there is more rolling drag.

better start but you will lose time the rest of the QM

and those arent toyo T1R's they are R888's

different tires completely so he cannot give you any useful information on how your car will be.

Firstly i never said that was my aim to gain 1/4 mile time, and the comparison for me wasnt 195/50/15 to 225/50/15 but 205/55/15...

I know 195/50/15 are cheapp.. but against wasnt my point



Ohh doo we love u Ross :lol:

 

[Simcard]

How wide are the dynamics on the 225 tyre, 7"?

 

[edk]

lol I know what Ross is saying it's just tact isnt his middle name :lol:.

225 on the front for the street is only ok if you're running 280hp or something imo.

 

[sri_alan]

225 isnt going to do any harm, the only problems are going to be clearance in the arches

 

[edk]

Stu runs that width up front and he removed the arch liners.

 

[VVLwezz]

a car that will never be forgotten

Th3k3ymast3r used 225/50/15s for a short time with no issues, I'm using 225/35/18 with little problems (but I removed the front section of the arch liners), my 'Mera's slammed to the floor and they were near enough the same rolling radius.
I'll be getting 235/30/18s next but they're only available as T1Rs. I can't imagine chunky rubber would be a problem for everyday motorway driving but it sure ain't great for cornering.

 

[5Zigen_Eddie]

How did Th3k3ymast3r find running 225/50/15 as a dailiy driver

I know raceworks ran 245's but thats limit for Almera arches... looking for a middle groud 225

my front arch liners are eaten from the front wheel getting hungry.. so dont need to worry about taking them off :lol:

 

[shaggy_master]

195 is enough!!?
Why would you want fat rubber?
