New Tires for the RX

Featured Replies

Well inspired by all the people who have done it in the past, I had my Brother's shop order me in a set of Nankang XR611 Touring Sport 205/60/13 tires to get some more grip and more tread on the highway at 75mph. Took a month to get them in, hard size to get. Really nice tires, handles like a totally different car (much much better)..and best of all they were free since his shop owed me for some major business I kicked their way :headbang:

Pics of course:

Nice and wide, just what I wanted and not a hint of rubbing anywhere.

i had a set of them on my hatch, great tires! they must have some pretty good sidewall strength.

 

the rx looks great btw

I want the rally wheels!

 

I was thinking of gettin 205s when my current set of cheap tires wear out.

what do those run for a set if i don't get new rims i might look at those

Did your car come with that bra, or did you order it. It would be good to cover up the rust on mine.

Free tires are always a good thing.

Especially when they're new! :D

...and when they're 15's for an RX. :clap:

 

How wide are those alloys?

 

(FYI for anyone wanting wide 15s: 205/50 is the closest to stock 185/70 circumference / speedo.)

Jeff - I have no idea what they would run in price, I got them for free and never pay full price on my tires anyways. Benefits of having a Brother who runs a shop. Maybe 75 knows?

Tizzle - The Bra was bought, but for an x-soob I had, which just got parted out recently and send to the crusher. So the hood protector got donated to the RX since we use gravel on our roads out here in the winter, trying to keep the chipping down.

Soobscript - Think they are 5.5 inch alloys, maybe just 5 inch. Just the stock 13" Subaru Rally Wheels.

Mike - Find them they are not that rare, I did get mine from edrach along time ago shipped in. But I prefer to support board members if they have the parts I want.

Thanks for the compliments on the car guys, but it's just really photogenic...not nearly as nice looking once you get up close. Jerry knows he has seen it. ;)

i paid $25 bucks a tire off a clearence rack, but, i don`t know their regular price
