yes, there was a difference of 500 & some bux.....but I'll have brand new tires againthe ones I have now only have several hundred, I also told the dudes I wouldn't romp on them.......too much

me too........I'm expecting ride quality might be a bit bumpier?

hyperion667

ride quality not much bumpier.......love the look!!! these tires are fookin' monsters!!!!!!!!!!!!! 305 are amazing!!!

At last... we have peace.

And look at the conical nature of the wide 11's- much better.

Will continue to listen to us and lower the damn thing? LOL

best part of the pic is the goldfish package, kids car seat, and the towel under the seat

identical to my amg , lol


ok so what is your final dimensions of tires and wheels.

post some pics of the previous set with the new set so we can really see the difference
( the old set were still stock 285 size right)

this one was a couple weeks ago.....


and from today, despite the blurr, you can kind of tell....


went 255/35 in front and 305/30 in the back....
and the tires are MichPS2's...
very nice tires.....pretty grippy...for now
and they can be rotated side to side too....

thanx for the comments...
it does look worlds better...
not so excited about a drop but anything is possible I guess....
who knows what the fate will suggest

hyperion667

haha, not sure man........not really to sure.....
and yes, I was really stoked on how much concavity came with these bad boys....

haha, so you have some goldfish munchers too eh? yeah, those things are
great....have a bag in each car, LOL....
yes, the stock rears were 285 I think....
hope the above pictures help......
I need to mark a spot in my driveway for the identical angles...

that is going to look sweet man....I know how much fun you're having in modd world! can you remind me how you dropped? and by how much.....it does look great.......you're going to flip when you see your HRE's on therelooking forward to the pix....what size tires are you getting again??

Vic55

I never heard you could swap PS2's left to right- they are not directional but actually asymetrical right? I have had 5 sets of PS2's and never swapped them ever.....

hyperion667

well damn,now you have me wondering Vic, LOL.......
that's what my man at the tire place was telling me........but now I think I'll double check to make sure

Vic55

I dont think you can go side to side...

Man, I'm now all confused about wahtg asymmetric means. I thought that means swapping from one side to the other is okay. I need to look this up.

By the way, the pics looks good!

hyperion667

has anyone considered modding these area's with a mesh type material or some sort of CF mesh or SOMETHING?
might be cool to cut out these spots for something???

hyperion667

thanx freefall and otaki........

I like the conical profile difference

vdubpower

Asymmetric tires can be swapped side to side

Curious, what's your reservation about dropping the car..
I personally agree with leaving it for now at least. We all know bigger wheels and / or lowering makes a car look better but I still think your car looks great. Even with the 19 s. happy to see that. Cuz if I ever change wheels I might stay at 19.

I remember when I got my 17 inch 3 piece mono blocks on to my w126 to replace my 14s everyone said drop it.. I held out for 5 yrs. it looks beyond brilliant now but that's a different situation.

RobbieRob

Dude, looks sick Hype.

vdubpower

rob do you have any pics of your car around, looks nice based on avatar

Vic55

Not all... Nitto Invos, nope... My Bridgestones on the GTR ... nope...

And most if not all tires have an inner and outer denotation which to some would mean dont swap side to side.

RobbieRob

The pic in the avatar is with just the rims, since then I lowered and blacked out the window trim, door handles, and chrome strip on truck lid. I will get some good pics up very shortly and post in the w212 non amg forum. Thanks for the compliment.
edit: There are a couple in my gallery, but the car is not lowered.

ajag

Ahhhhh, much better Hype.

hyperion667

thanx for the comps guys!! it's a fookin' dream! lol

freefall

You know what would be so cool? If you dropped it.

vdubpower

Even with the denotations it can still be done. Essentially the tire will run the opposite way it previously was. Outside will still be outside.

More often with all season tires is this the case

Obviously with directional tires you shouldn't have the tread go backwards.

Bottom line is not to swap the tire side to side with taking the wheel out, but I suppose in directional tires you can do that..

Maybe Luke from tire rack can chime in

AmmarYasirA

knock yourself out, it looks interesting...
