Just spent €1400 on a set of new summer tires.Angry. Are tires a scam?
Dws06+ for my car is 1400 but pz4/ps4s are 2k.
>>28898352>Are tires a scamGet a spare set of wheels, mount the cheapest shit you can buy new, and compare them
>>28898352Should've bought nittos
>>28898352trugg or sportscar
>>28898352>Are tires a scam?The opposite, traction is the most important part of any vehicle. Summer tires though is a scam if they're not on a performance car and if you experience any real winter, they turn hard as plastic and can't grip in the cold
No tires are awesome. I like Falken RS820‘s
>>28898352>Implying that the very first thing that interacts with the road you're driving on is a scam because decades of RND has nearly perfected traction capabilitiesNgmiEven for daily drivers there's comfy af tires, for sports there's performance tires, and truccs got towing or offroad capable tires that won't delete themselves in an instant. It's not a scam you're just a stingy jew
>>28898352Tires as a purchase are not a scam, but there are alot of tires that are scams. What tire did you get and what vehicle do you have?
>>28898499Goodyear Wranglers for my Jeep Wrangler
>>28898352>wahhhhh I bought a vehicle with expensive tires and now I complain about itI bet you call people poor and make fun of their cars too, dipshit.
>>28898473>traction is the most important part of any vehicle.One of the most important parts. The best tires in the world wont stop you without brakes.
>>28898423both suck
>>28898669The best brakes in the world are useless with bad tires
>>28898352>Are tires a scam?Yeah, you don't need them.
>>28898499Got some type of Continental SportContact 7 for my Cayenne.>>28898700fuck I knew it
Tires are the most important thing, but how hard are you really driving?A set of all-seasons are $450 installed and balanced for my car and they'll last me 50-60k miles (and I can drift and do burnouts with them). Or, I could get summers for $1200 that last 6-14k miles driving normally.If your car didn't weigh so fucking much you wouldn't have to depend on summers just to corner and brake normally.>>28898669>The best tires in the world wont stop you without brakes.Braking is tire-limited 99% of the time, ABS or not. Brakes heat up and only start becoming a limitation when you're running 10/10 on a track for a long time.
Bigger wheels are the scam.>16in tire is like $130>17in $150>18in $180>19in $220Go up 3 inches doubling tire cost and all you get out of it is easier rim damage and feeling more of the road on your ass.
>>28900665yeah but my 21s came with the car and going oem and not looking like a fucking nigger will cost me another 3-4k for 19s or something
>>28900696>21s, 19sJesus christ. I run 14s. It's actually somewhat difficult to get tires for 14s now.
>>28900665I would love to keep running 15s on my shitbox but there aren't any decent tires of the size I need in Europe so I'll have to upsize to 17s anyway.
>>28900704The main reason I jumped from 14's to 15's. That and the jump from 5.5 to 7.5.
>>28900745Mine are 14x6, but I had a set of 15x8's on my last miat for track days. I have 3 NB 15 sports in my barn, next time I need tires I'll get another and use those. Problem is replicas are more-common and sold as OEM, but I'll find one.
>>28898352>Are tires a scam?No as clearly seen that wheel will just fall apart without a tire.
Have a set of ecs02 getting delivered tomorrow. $1k maplebux
>>28898669You can literally replace your brake pads with blocks of wood and still lock up your tires if you press hard enough. Tires are all that matters for stopping distance.
>>28898431Nitto tires are shit.Idk why you retards keep buying them.They arn't even cheap anymore.Your only reason was removed, now it's just sad.
>>28898352>Are tires a scam?Kinda, but not really.
>>28898352I paid around 1k for a set of Michelin primacies. Soft quieter ride. Did I get ripped off?
i get used or refurbished tires off ebay sometimesthere are alot of cheap used tires that still have alot of tread
>>28898352idk why but for my truck i always find super cheap tires on tirerack that are like $500 for 4 tires. Currently have a set of michelin.
i only use scrap tires that i get for free
