Summer Tires on a budget.

[J.andretti93]

Looking to get some new summer tires for the fiST.
205 40 17
I wish i could get my hands on some Federal RSR but i can't find them anywhere.
Any suggestions on some good choices to take a look at?
And some links would be great.
I am on a budget and am not looking to spend more than $450 or so.

I had a great deal on 215 40 17 azenis 615k+. Went to discount tire's ebay page and they were cheaper than discount's site by 40 bucks total. With free shipping.

How much tread is left and what is the date code on the tires to see how old they are? Can you get that info.....

The rs-rs and rs-rrs are all over ebay and there is a vendor that has the rs-pros just Google them.

They are all over ebay but not the size im looking for.
I'm lowered so 215 40 17 Federals would rub for sure.

 

[PunkST]

How low? In dropped 1.5 and running et40 wheels with no rub.

 

[J.andretti93]

Whiteline springs 1.25
But man it sketches me out, i know Federals run pretty wide.

 

[PunkST]

The falkens also run wide. Are you on stock wheels? If so youll have more than enough clearance.

Not worth it. You can get Feddys local at a few places in your neck of the woods. Just get 16’s and drop some 205/45/16 Feddys on you will thank me later.

 

[maestromaestro]

These are used. Otherwise - a popular choice.

$350 for used tires with no date code posted? What?

The answer is in post #2: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tire...R7FHI5XL&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

Although a better option would be to buy some 16x7 or 16x8 wheels and run a 205/45R16 or 205/50R16 tire to drop weight, gain sidewall, and save cost.

Lowered on Swifts with 215/40/70 rs-rrs and have never came close to rubbing. You will be fine. At the most extreme you would rub on big bumps which is not a big deal.

Shoot for $450 id sell you my Falken Azenis in 205/40R17 on some Ford SVT EAP wheels powdercoated white if youre interested? They might have 5k miles on them with a few autocrosses. Still have nearly perfect tread and are kept covered in my garage. Can take pictures and tire readings if interested.

Does not include shipping though. PM me and we can discuss.

No rubbing really??
Damn... now im really contemplating picking up a set of Federals in 214 40 17
Now my question becomes rsr, rsrr, or pros?

I would get the rs-pros if it were me but the rs-rrs are great tires for the money, just pretty loud. my exhaust covers up the noise of them. no rubbing at all.
