oh, and rotation issues
if you get the setuup Speed has,. uyou'll be able to rotate tires. If you get staggered, no easy rotation, you have to remount tires.

See Speed, there were more issues

true..... true....

see what I mean. the 19" staggared sure looks hot, but for me the 18" were the best option (and the only option)


Keith, the milage problem is not really related to the 18" vs 19", that really has nothing to do with it. in fact if if you had the same exact tire in 18" and 19" the 19" would last a wee bit longer (assuming they were drven the EXACT same way).

your 19's dont last as long because they are a softer tire then your stockers were.

This past month was very small due to all the rain.

Typically we have 10+ RX-8 that show up to the meets. You should come one down and check it out.

welcome.... yeah check out the first post and see some of the pictures from the meets. your should try to come out.

only got about 9,000 miles from my stockers. mostly due to the lowering, and the burnouts.

the inside edge was quite worn out. the rest of the tire was in pretty good shap.

well that sucks...

hour and half!?!?!? wow, that sucks. you should come down at least once. it is pretty cool when we get a big meet. it's neat to see 12+ other rotaries in your rear view mirror.

Just thought I would Add to the collection.
I have been driving to Rancho for two weeks now, and It amazes me how many ricers you see on foothill. and to think, these are just the ones I can get on camera, on my 2 way trip.
