I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

yay or nay? need some opinions

build threads. post pics & specs & brag about your ride.

never really been a fan of these wheels, seen the centers for them on icb about a month ago though, with the caps i like them better. Either way could could get a set of buddy club or even a set of rotas for around the price you said. jdmups has some rotas and also another site i found with a nice selection and free shipping is

See if you can't get 195/50-14's. I had a set of Toyo Proxes RA-1's in that size and they were amazing. Didn't last very long driving them on the street, lol, but there was hardly and sidewall flex or anything with the 50 series.

I'll see if I can't find something.

Edit: Well, looks like 195/50-15's are kinda' slim picking. Pretty much just race tires. Dunlop makes a nice 195/55-14 summer/sport tire.

Other than that your choices go up a bit if you stay with a 60 series. Remember too that even if you get a performance 60 series it's gonna' look shorter than an all-weather/generic 60 series, 'cause the sidewall to the top of the tire is going to be more square for a wider contact patch than your typical rounded all weather.

Sumitomo, BFGoodrich and Yokohama all make nice 205/60-14's.

And if you go 195/60-14, then you have Sumitomo, BFGoodrich, Yokohama, Firestone, Dunlop, Bridgestone (my personal favorite), Fuzion, Goodyear, Pirelli, Michellin and Kumho.

How much are looking at spending on tires?
