We're looking at August 23rd (tentatively) as the next RX8/rotary meet in Colorado. Check out the thread at Colorado Mazda Club. We'd really like to get some new folks out at this meet! If you've got any input, post here or in the thread link I posted. We had 10 of us at the last meet, let's get more!!

Hey Greek, are you running boost? Is anyone boosted here in Colorado, specifically the Denver area?

I keep searching for a tuner, or a rotary specialist somewhere in Denver, but the only thing I found was "Rotary Specialists" (rotaryspecialists.com) and it seems like they're out of business, their phone number is not in serivce either.

Anyone have any ideas?

Sadly not yet no. I will one day though. There is a guy in the springs we did the greddy install with. UPP down in the Springs will tune rotaries that's who tuned his with the AP. Or you can try SR-tunning. I know that Steve kahn is supposed to be here sometie in August and and the spring next year doing some tunning. Last time he was here he was at Import Sports. They are in Denver and may Tune rotaries. Don't know. http://importsports.net/home.htm

I am checking on buying snow tires for my 04 RX auto with 18 '' wheels. I keep seeing that Blizzaks are one way to go. What about the wheel sensors? Do they come off or will they stay on when the new snows are mounted on the wheels?

Thanks again. This is my first time to put snows on the RX and I hear lots of folks say the car is good in the snow with good snow tires or all seasons.

I am not sure bout the snow tires. I drive my 8 in the winter without them

I have always been fine without them as long as I don't get crazy and its not more than a few inches.

I hear if you keep the summer soft tires the RX is basically useless in any sort of snow accumulation. I think one of us CO guys used snows and it was the best. I am not sure to go either snows or all seasons for the littleton area. I drive to around the Denver Tech center C470 route each day. I have never had the RX out in snow until this year. I only have about 11,000 on it with the original soft summer tires OEM stuff on it. I have the touring 18 inch wheels. This winter I don't have a choice so the car needs to be equipped with snows or All Season. Not sure which yet.

I was able to get around fine (on a daily basis) the last two winters with all-seasons (Khumo ASX's) in the Colorado Springs area. Ground clearance/ice on up slopes were the biggest issues but most of the major roads are plowed here regularly and if you pick the right roads you can manage.

Ok, so now I need to make a decision. I have 11K on the summer tires but they seem to be ok so far although I believe their life ends at 20K. If I get Firestone snows then that means when the snows are gone, I have t o switch back to the summer tires which are noisy. Or go to all season tires and have four used summer tires to keep around but for what I don't know. They would most likely go another 5 k perhaps. Did you use the Rack to get your tires or did you use the local discount tire stores?

I used Discount Tire back when I got mine out of convenience as I was moving at the time. Having moved from Texas a couple of years ago, I have no experience w/ snow tires and was worried about driving around w/ them throughout the season when the roads were dry and I was driving my car hard. This might not be a problem with modern snow tires but I'm not sure and haven't looked into it. I also didn't want to come up w/ an extra set of wheels and didn't want to have to swap the different tires to the wheels I had. I figured all-seasons would be the best compromise and managed pretty good on those. I don't think I ever strayed from my area or Denver area throughout both the winters I've lived here except for a vacation trip during December so not sure how the car would manage in the mountains or heavier snow areas.

I also found the OEM summer tires that came w/ my car (Bridgestone Potenza's) were not even useful in hot central Texas when the streets were wet, slick, or greasy at all for the most part and I wore them out at around 10k miles (gravel roads probably helped do them in) so that and knowing I was moving to CO is what convinced me to get the all-seasons. I couldn't imagine how the car would get around up here w/ those still on (especially w/ me at the wheel ).

Also, if you would be putting the snow tires on the stock 18" wheels, then you should be able to keep the tire pressure monitoring system in tack or some of the aftermarket wheels accept the TPMS sensors also.

I've got summer tires on my RX8. Last year was my first winter with the car, and I might have left it parked 4 or 5 times. Even then, the main reason is that my work parking lot is a steep decline, and I was worried about if being unplowed and sliding into the metal gate.

I will say that even after driving RWD cars growing up in northern NY, the RX8 can be a little interesting to drive during the winter months. I've toyed with the idea of dedicated winter tires on separate wheels, but for the cost, I'd rather just get a beater.

As far as where to get tires, Discount Tire matches prices (I bought my Kumho Ecstas for my Mazda6 there). Be sure to check the prices on Discount Tire Direct as well, and have the local store match those. I've seen good deals there, as well.

Yeah I guess I'm lucky with the OEM tires so far. I took the car to Wisconsin a year ago and that's the last time I take it with the touring sports suspension. It was a bit bumpy and noisy as all get out. When I put the numbers on paper I see its better to go all season otherwise I am stuck with buying two sets of tires in one year which makes it a bit expensive for 18 inch wheels low profile. I'll just need to look around for the best all around all season tires. Not sure Firestone is it just yet. Snows are soft rubber much like the summer OEM tires and so if you leave them on during the summer, you'll wear them out real fast. I see some buy two sets of wheels, new sensors so to have tires for both seasons. That's more than what I want to put out so I guess I'll go All season then. I keep seeing this car is excellent in the snow with good tires so I guess I'll find out this winter then. Seems the Springs area gets a good amount of snow than up here in Littleton area.

I've been using the Goodyear Eagle F1 All-Seasons (225 45ZR) for a good year now and they are great in snow, ice, rain, whatever. No complaints.

For what it's worth, I put a set of Pirelli P-Zero Neros on mine a couple of years ago, and although I do my best to avoid winter driving conditions, the few times I had to drive in the snow, these things performed perfectly.

Has anybody seen the Velocity Red RX-8 with a black landau top, plankboard for a rear wing, chrome mirrors, graphics, etc. rolling around the denver metro area?

If so, "hello and, OH MY"

Ok I just received a quote from Firestone for All Season tires on the RX auto 18" wheels. Bridgestone UNI-T AQ II Potenza RD 960AS pole Pos 225/45R18 40K mile limited warranty. Mount tires, balance, road hazard protection, new stems tire disposal. Bottom line is $1,001.03 The tires are $191.49 each and that's their discount! ouch. What does anyone think? I have not tried discount tire yet or anyone else.
