Looks like Bridgestones run a tiny bit bigger or do Nankangs & Nittos just run smaller?

Yeeah Bridgestone S-04s came in the other day from Tirerack! I hope I can fit these! Here's a few comparison shots beside the same size 265/35-18 Nankang NS-II.

I definitely noticed that they are a bit wider.

Just out of curiosity, why do you have a brand new Nankang tire? lol

Agree. Take that Chinese tire and put it far, far from your car.

[STREETFIGHTER50]

Ok let's forget about the Nankang :) lol

Les Schwab hooked it up! They always do a good job on all the rims/tires I've brought them. Always careful.

Dario when did u get those wheels? The Gunmetal looks very nice with ur OB! ARC-8s? What size rim/tires??

[STREETFIGHTER50]

Also, just wanted to say these 18x9.5 Miro 112s with the new 265/35-18 Bridgestone rubber felt even lighter than the smaller OEM ZHP wheels with smaller tires. I'll try to weigh them this week to compare exactly.

I got them yesterday morning. Check out my project thread for details and more pictures if you'd like. They are 18x9 square ET42. Tires are still staggered. :( Will go square 265 when I can.

Thank you. :)

When I picked up my ARC8, only then could I appreciate the weight savings. 135s are so heavy.

[STREETFIGHTER50]

Yea them 135's are really nice looking, but man are they heavy & a PIA to clean!

[orange260z]

You both have beautiful new rims!!! BTW, I bought my S-04s last summer and love them. And they look badass.

So what's the difference in how it drives?

It feels a little more peppy, but honestly I bet that's all in my head. Now that my wheels are straight, much smoother. Besides that, can't really comment. Tires are still staggered so it drives the same.

Lol I feel the same way! Less rotating weight should spin easier of course, but yeah mostly faster-in our heads :)

lol that's what i tell everyone. and then JR has them in chrome, so it's even heavier.

Yup. Those chrome wheels probably weigh quite a bit. Besides, my vert weighs a ton anyway. :)

you should weigh it sometime. i really wanna know how much more they weigh.

[johnrando]

I've always wondered that myself.
