Big tires (Page 5/5) hunter29 AUG 01, 04:46 PM quote Originally posted by cvxjet: General G-Max AS-07 tires in those same sizes but substantially lighter; 2 lbs lighter per tire. And they rate slightly better in testing comparisons....But total cost is $30 more. https://www.tirerack.com/ti...Code=&tireIndex =null Thanks, Two pounds is a lot. cvxjet AUG 01, 06:26 PM I just looked at the test results on Tire rack; They compared the Cooper Zeon RS-3 to the previous generation General G-Max AS-05...The Generals came out on top basically across the board- and the new AS-07 version in a separate test performed even better. The BFG G-Force Comp 2 A/S did out perform the General AS-07 in a few parameters- but in the sizes you are looking at, they weighed 2 lbs more for each front tire, and 3 lbs more for each rear...plus they are more expensive ($80+ for the set) One other thing; Fieros are known for "kick-back" thru the steering wheel when hitting bumps- my Voxx Monza wheels are 38 mm offset- which moved the center of the front tires inward by 8 mm.....this negated most of the kick-back...and if you look at the pic of my car, the front wheel/tires are not "Way in"...If you can, get some wheels with a bit more inset- say 5-8 mm more...Easier steering effort and even less kick-back. olejoedad AUG 02, 09:15 PM I put the Coopers on this spring. Tires, mounted and balanced, under $800. Locally owned business to boot! armos AUG 15, 06:38 PM quote Originally posted by hunter29: Ok got you except for acceleration and breaking. If weight was the same what would it matter? Thanks for the input.. Acceleration and braking are torquing the wheel, so they are fighting against the moment of inertia (plus the weight of the whole car). Unfortunately nobody ever specifies that, they only specify weight. If weight is the same but the wheel and tire are larger diameter, then you can assume the rotational inertia will still be greater. I don't know if it would be very noticeable.
