**Tire Question**
The rims I have installed are Mono VI Replica's. The size is 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5. Current tires are Falken- 452 255/35 R18 in the back. Falken- 452 225/40 R18in the front. I’m looking for another good comparable tire besides Falken 452's and their appropriate size. I don’t have a KMAC kit installed or any other product. I replace tires about every three months and have been for two years now. The rims I have installed are Mono VI Replica's. The size is 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5.
I want to try another solid tire besides Falken and see the difference. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have your exact size rims and I've got 245/35/18 fronts and 275/40/18 rears but on a 300zx. Your current setup looks a bit thin but some people like that. You can go a little wider and have some side wall protection. I'm running on Nexen N3000.
example of my setup:

you really need to invest in rear camber arms.. you wont burn through your rear tires so quickly.. it will pay its self off real quick in your case. but your car looks great

Jason- comparable to Falken maybe Kumho or even maybe Hankook? The yokohoma S Drive has come down in price and not much more than these options.
In regards to your car sitting lower than others, could be your shocks could be just getting old, maybe a little leak or sag would cause this.

Hopefully someone from this tread will shed some insight.
What tires should I use for rims with 19x8.5 front (32mm offsets) 19x9.5 rear (35mm offsets) on a C32?

How about the vredesteins? 235/40 and 275/35. Do you have the tires remounted to use up the outside of the tread? It's what I'm going to do for my fronts. The handeling is much more responsive but wears the innder tread FAST.
every 3 months?
Didn't know H&Rs without pads make them sit that low!
Can't wait to get my springs in...
