Aveo Redux - Back to good - and it's good to be back

[subachad]

Bastards cost me $400, stress, and more time than I care to devote to scumbags.

AAAAHHHHH-sigh of relief.

[thehunterooo]

are those the same rims and tires that you had before?

[Wolfman AK907]

Yeah they're the same. Sorry you had to go through that bro.

[thehunterooo]

are those 15's, and how much is each rim and each tire?

[subachad]

Same rims, different tires.

15" Rota Circuit 8 (ebay about $450-$500 new or used)

had 205/50/15 Kumho Ecsta SPT - they are nice and quiet, you can do bootleggers turns all day long without making much noise.

Now, 205/50/15 BFG G-Force Sport A/S - they do make some noise when pushed, little more than I care for, but not that loud. They do have better acceleration grip than the Kumhos, cornering about the same though the sidewalls appear a bit softer. Could be because I currently have 32psi and usually run 36 in the front.

I love the way my tires perform, 205/40/R17 Cooper Zeon ZPT's. A little bit of road noise but they corner amazingly and overall ride comfort wasn't really sacrificed when swapped from 14's. I think I run like 46-48 pounds in mine though, I burn a little more fuel but It feels like my acceleration is a lot smoother and I can coast longer.

how's the tire wear with 48 PSI?

[Wolfman AK907]

Well it's hard to say, I think I've only put like 1700 miles on them since they've been on my aveo. I think I put like 800 miles on them last winter with my Jetta. I haven't noticed hardly any wear.

damn those are some expensive 15's
