Will tires eventually be too expensive for normal people to buy?
Just buy Pilot Sport 5's and be done with it.
>>28864153Honestly I'd argue they already are. At least two of my coworkers have had bald tires for the entire time I've worked with them. If you're not already a car guy, they go pretty far down your list of priorities. At least compared to food, rent, medicine, etc.
>Road Hazard ProtectionLet me guess the tires are $206.24 cheaper without that.
>>28864162That list price is without any add-ons
>size 335/30>normal people
>>28864158>He doesn't know.
>>28864164Sod that. I get my tyres from The Mitch because I know who made them.
>>28864153Normal people are buying literally racecar tires. I got a full set of new tires mounted and balanced for barely more than that single tire
>>28864166What cunt?
If you can't afford 2k, you have problems and should get a better job.
>>28864153Just buy Chinese tyres. They are better than name a brand tyres from 5 years ago.
>>28864229These fuckers are good for like 40,000km too.
>>28864166You don't have 335s on your car, anon.
If you wanna play, you've gotta pay. My 650 R13's were only Au$439 each, but having quality tyres sets off your car.
>>28864229This. I wouldn't buy a winter tyre but chinesium summer tyres are perfectly fine, especially the more well-known brands like Linglong.
>>28864229are there any pilotsport-tier chinesium tyres?
buy some vietnamese shit like kendas or hankooks, they're like 150 bucks a piece>>28864229hell no nigger i don't buy from the lesser asians.
seems cheap enough for me

>>28864229you should get chinese brakes too while you're at it

>>28864153Just quit being poor.
>>28864229Lmao
Can someone reccomend me good wheels for mk7 gti?
>>28864153Just lease a new car that comes with new tires
>>28864437that pasta doesn't work and never has lmao

>>28864165This. What the fuck is OP driving, a big rig?
I'm looking at wheels for my minivan. Are these good?
>>28864560Taiwan is not China, and never will be part of China.
>>28864579and israel is not a country
>>28864153you can get a full set of a052s in 195/50 r15 for that pricestop buying gigantic cars
>>28864606taiwan has its own people, its own culture, its own government and its own currencyisrael has its own people, its own culture, its own government and its own currencythey are both countries, regardless of what angry hounds around them try to claim and regardless of how much you like these people and cultures (both are far more tolerable than literally any other country in their respective regions)
>>28864614easy there jidf
>>28864614You raise a valid point, let's give Taiwan to China and give Israel to the Palestinians. Both "countries" are on stolen land.
>>28864627Isn't Taiwan "Free China". Israel is a terrori5t state. Two different cases.
>>28864437>retardCoker Tire Company manufactures American Classic tires. The Chattanooga, Tennessee-based tire company uses a third-party tire factory but retains ownership of the molds, licensing agreements, and rubber compound formulas. Coker Tire invented the wide whitewall radial, as well as the American Classic bias look radial. American Classic whitewall tires are manufactured in the USA.
>>28864643>>28864618>>28864627>>28864606>>28864579Piss off back to /pol/
>>28864655>noo not the hecking anti-semitesgo back to blackedjidfdiscord tranny
>>28864153>posts an extreme tire with an equally extreme tire sizeI'd say yeah anyway, most normies I've known (that don't immediately jump to places like Costco/Sams) end up with Westlake/Douglas/Kelly or whatever mystery brand is cheapest since the only metric they know is price. They see tires as tires, and your average corner tire shop is more than willing to cut deals on the imported off-brand tires they get cheap.It's only autists that start looking at things like Tire Rack charts, treadwear ratings, speed ratings, country of origin and so on to make a decision, and aside from that you've got clueless yet well-meaning boomers that'll only buy the same Michelin/Goodyear/Firestone that they've been buying for decades.On my "modern" car I've gotten away with getting pairs of 70-80% tread name brand runflats from off lease cars for around $100 (vs ~$300 each new), since the tires are typically tossed when they still have lots of life due to being traded in. You have to have a car with a relatively common size however (I'm also cheap and want different wheels anyway hence saving a few bucks).>pic unrelated
>>28864228>durrrr it's good that you're getting ripped off complaining about it means you're POORfuck off, jew.
>>28864158Do they sell those in the US yet? Last I checked they only sold 4s in the US
>>28864153Man i'm glad my car doesn't wear clown shoes
>>28864153You can already finance and lease rims so I would imagine tire finance/lease plans will be a thing if they aren't already.
>>28864228riced out size
$2100 every 6 years = $30/month in tiresIf you can't afford this it's because you are retarded.
>>28864919You may get 6 years out of an all season or an A/T but you sure as fuck aren't doing that with an ultra soft, fast wearing performance tire. If you're actually using that sports car to it's full potential than you're looking at $2100 a couple times a year. Yet some people say driving a truck is impractical lol.
>>28864790>>durrrr it's good that you're getting ripped off complaining about it means you're POORYou're not getting ripped off though, tires are low margin compared to most manufacturing.And you can buy shitty tires and/or retreads if you're that broke. What makes you think a tire isn't worth a few hundred dollars (which is basically nothing)?
>>28864920yeah but if you're driving a sports car hard you don't have much room to complain about the cost of running the car
>>28864919Anon, I go though 3 sets of 200tw tires per summer.You can't get a tire that soft to last 6 years unless you never drive.>>28864228McDonald's strut 911 spotted.
>>28864540Why would you want to change them? The GTI is one of the few cars that comes with distinctive wheels designed specifically for the car.
>>28864962Two of them got damaged and scratched from bad calculation on a parking spot
>>28865055Check salvage yards for replacements. That's where I got Trans Am wheels for my old Gran Prix. I'm sure there are a plethora of sources for replacement used wheels so that you don't have to replace all four.
>>28864922So you think US policy that has created rampant inflation, which the government has lied about at every turn including cooking the stats, is not a rip off?
>>28865055oh it's totaledsell that shitpile and buy a dodge challenger
>>28864627let's give japan back to the ainu, half of turkey back to the greeks, turn half of europe into a germany-france superposition and kick everyone currently living in egypt out as they have nothing to do with the old egyptians who built the pyramidsall land is stolen, what matters is who lives there now, if multiple generations of people call it their own land, it is their land
>>28865180>dodge challengerim in europe retard
>>28865222do it anyway
>>28865222euros are allowed to own v6 challengers
>>28865270>v6 challenger
>>28865273the pentastar is goated thoughbeit
>>28865222>is a car enthusiast>lives in europe>calls others retardhmm
>>28864153Not if you have a non ricer sized tire like 195/65/15
>>28865281You thought an EV Charger was a good idea, Antonio. Why aren't you fired yet?
>>28864614This so much this. See you in Iran sis
>>28865290Those v6 are hilariously slow. I've driven a V6 challenger and you can put your foot flat the floor and the thing will barely hit 100mph.At least the V6 Mustang and Camaro of that era were reasonably quick. No reason to not get the 5.7 or 6.4L.
>>28864919My rear PZ4 are at 5/32 after 2 years and 6k miles kek the fronts are 8/32 still
>>28865292Shits way too big all over on new cars. My shitbox uses 15s that come in at $40 per, but these days even a Civic is rolling on 18s that cost a buck plus.
>>28864228>Normie sport 4sSlow, expensive, and doesn't last as long as 200tw on track>>28864940>I go though 3 sets of 200tw tires per summerSuper 200's? What tires?
>>28864153Cars will eventually be too expensive for normal people to buy.
>>28865803I'd say we're there with 96 month car loans, the average car payment being over $1k, and repossessions about to break records. I don't know how insurance rates are going around the US, but Cali is looking at the possibility of $10/gallon gas by the end of the year IF everything goes well. If their shipments of fuel are delayed because of storms or even military activity, then they're truly screwed. It would be a great help if Trump could actually change the regulations to allow Kei cars. Plenty of people just need an around town car. It would be nice to cater to that market.
>>28865799Bro, 4s arn't a track tire.Often used when track days get rained out >Super 200's? What tires?2 sets of 315/30r18 A0521 set of 295/30R18s RE71RS
>>28865273The PentaKINO GODstar V6 makes as much power as the classic muscle "heroes" everyone obsesses over and it's lighter than the HEMI which gives the Chally a near-perfect 52/48 front/rear weight distributionIt's literally a big Miata
>>28864326The majority of items you own were made in china.
Just buy kumho, Falken or hankook depending on your needs
>>28866301I know how powerful it is, but it's not a V8. Exhaust notes matter. Put it in something else.
>>28864229>Just buy Chinese tyres. >They are better than name a brand tyresAt least there is a choice of color tyres from various chinese tire manufacturers.
>>28866429
>>28865853>It would be a great help if Trump could actually change the regulations to allow Kei cars.yes my one man clown car racecar come on trump quick playing battleship and fucking change the laws already you orange bastard
>>28866433>quickthat's what I get for mobile fagging
>>28865934>Bro, 4s arn't a track tire.Yeah I know, it’s just annoying seeing people glaze them for “track and street” use when they inevitable self destruct on track compared to an Endurance Tire like RS4’s or ECF and even if someone wants to act fake rich, A052 and RE71S are faster than a Pilot Sport 4S.Also which of those tires did you like better? I’m thinking of getting a super 200 when I get enough experience on track to warrant softer tires
>road tires for track use I too love doing half a lap on the burgerking before my PS4S tires overheat
>>28866439No one running a super 200 is fake rich.We are poor.RE71RS & now Re71rz are a more of a track day tire.A052s are a 1 lap wonder tire good for Autocross or time attack.The 52s tend to work better on lighter cars while the Bridgestones like heavier cars.
>>28864606they've got an army and a government and have defended their territory successfully. sounds like a country to me~
>>28866857Jews only have that because we granted it to them.They don't earn it.Didn't build any of it.The Taiwan boys worked and built their country with their own money and their own hands.
>>28864153cant believe a fucking 335 18 inch tyre is expensive. who woulda thunk
>>28866924>tyre
>>28866927pronounced: tiy-ar
>>28866935>tea-are
>>28866935The word Tire does not have a "Y" in it.You have a case of 2nd world syndrome.
>>28866967nah, tyre does though
>>28864291Shits fucked up China makes some fantastic stuff in pretty much every possible category but their internets lively enough none of em ever bother learning English to tell us what's the good stuff and whats the shit stuffI'm about to be forced to buy Chinese tires because 185/80/r13 my options are chinese, trailer tires on a car, or, $500 a tire
I’d never buy anything other than top tier tires for both summer and winter season. Granted I’m in yurop and 1 set of tires last me 3 years
>>28866732>No one running a super 200 is fake rich.We are poor.Oh I think I worded it terribly, my point was that people flex expensive normie tires that are not suited at all to actual track performance driving, but people also buy expensive sporty rwd cars, spin out and crash too so it’s a no brainer they wouldn’t know tiresAlso good to know about the Bridgestones
>>28866732do you have any experience with the 52s? planning on buying a set for summer but don't know if i should just daily them or get another set of wheels while im at it, my car is a heavy bitch at around 2900-3000lbs if that matters.
I'm just going to get conti dws06+I have other cars for when it snows, and I'd be able to take the car out when it's 30 degrees or lower.
>>28864229No.https://youtube.com/shorts/E00BdUDA5_Y
>>28864233yes I fucking do they are commonly founded on all newer cars you pennyless poornigger
>>28867401I burn through about six sets of A052'sThey are one lap Wonder tires used for qualifying or Autocross.Street driving is going to get you maybe 5,000 miles or so.
>>28866970i*e is pronounced as "aye" so kite, bike, and yes even tire
>>28869337Is that ice or hydroplaning?
>>28869538Nerve gas.
>>28866935https://youtu.be/XTMwrItEA7k?&t=78
I just picked up a set of 235 Bridgestone rz yesterday. Fucken expensive paying full retail on a brand new release. Normies don't care and even rich countries have cunts running Chinese rubber. To be honest for as good as a tyre like a pilot sport 5 is across the board most don't need it these days. Cars and tyres have come far enough, the rest is user error. It's a hard sell to tell a normie they need 800 bucks worth of michelins instead of 500 on xyz brand.
>>28867404I was about to say just get ECS if you're not driving in the snow and decided to look up the min temp for ECS, supposedly continental says don't use them at temps under 45°F and to lift the car if temps are below freezing to prevent flat spotting. Whoops. I was driving on ECS02s all winter, though on days when we had snow I stayed home. Luckily I'm not a fucking idiot so when it's cold or wet out I give extra distance and slow down because I know my tires are probably not at 100%.
>>28866429>>28866431What the fuckAre these real?I can get blue tires??All my shit has 15 inch rims tho
>>28871715Yeah because it's a summer tire. I've been driving my pzero at 39-45 when dry and it can be pretty sketchy at times. Not worth it. The rears will be worn after this season so I'll just get the dws06. The only other all seasons for my car on tire rack is laufenns kek
>>28871804>Yeah because it's a summer tireI live in the south. When it snows I stay home. I figure good enough.
>>28869538chinese tires
