Help with buying new tires

[mazdaowner123]

Hey, yeah here are some pics:

That was when I was on the GC's and not lowered that much. I went lower with the JICs and it looks better. Don't have any pics of it like that though. I also have black lugnuts now which make it look better. I dunno exactly how much I lowered the car with the JIC's though.

brian do u have pix of ur car with the rotas? how much have u lower the car with the coilovers. i just wanna see if im gonna have a huge wheel gap with the 45/16 and goldline springs.

brianmcd, looks like you're changing your tires at an autocross course. how do you travel with your 2nd set of tires? do you just throw them in the back seat, or do they fit in your trunk? just wondering.

 

[mazdaowner123]

I wrap em in trashbags and put 2 in the trunk and 2 in the back seats. They're 16". I've had to transport the 17s before and I think I could only fit one wheel in the trunk, but I can't remember. I'd advise wrapping them in trashbags though so you don't get your car all dirty. Now I just change them the night before the event cause it's a lot easier and they're azenis.

Hey, I was browsing around the other day and found these as well. If you wanna transport your tires, these things look like they're be super helpful. I might buy some for mine.

if you have a hitch, like me, that's the best way to transport your tires, unfortunately I don't have a second set, but if I did, that's how I would do it.......also carrying an aluminum racing jack, a torque wrench and a cordless drill makes life easy as well.

I just got KDW2s for my car. I had them on in the past and loved them. Perfect summer tire imo

I wish they made one for an MSP. I wonder if I would be able to buy one w/o the hitch and use it to hang my wheels/tires in my garage using their mounting brackets.

the one for the WRX will fit our cars, just buy the draw-tite hitch for $110 or something like that is what I paid for mine, then this for $120 and your set......it makes life so easy and you don't have to deal with bagging your tires or your car smelling like burnt rubber......I couldn't find the tire tail website, but they are in Dallas and will make custom versions as well.......I have a friend with one on his WRX and I tried it out at the last autox and it fit.
