A seemingly banal title I admit, however going from a value tire to a really sticky one and changing the widths completely changed the character of my C4S from significant understeer to a surprising smidge of oversteer.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

25 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

A seemingly banal title I admit, however going from a value tire to a really sticky one and changing the widths completely changed the character of my C4S from significant understeer to a surprising smidge of oversteer. From stock wheel and tire sizes (HTR Z III) to 245/40/18 + 315/30/18 (Toyo R888):

Beaty, big, and bouncy.

POST 4Original post

Not surprised, you went from a street tire to a racing tire. You're right they are completely different. Enjoy the traction!

POST 6Original post

Gorgeous looking car. Enjoy the new tires, safely and responsibly. OK, not too responsibly! T

+996 Tires def look meaty but those 80's style rims overshadow everything.

POST 8Original post

I love the wheels! Speed yellow is also the best color

POST 10Original post

I'm sure the R888s will be much better traction than your old street tires. Good luck in the rain!

POST 12Original post

That's an increase of what, .8 inches up front? I can see that making a significant difference in front grip. The wheels look a little too much like 5-spoke drag wheels to me, but as with all things visual, your opinion is the one that really matters...

Yep! OZ's just as good as ever!

POST 15Original post

Next upgrade will be racing AOS, as more Gforce in the corners means oil smoke

POST 16Original post

Actually an X51 baffle is your top priority when moving to R-comp tires.

POST 17Original post

I should have asked: You don't have any rubbing on the front? People have said the 245/40r18s rub on the suspension. I would dearly love to stuff 225/45r18s to match 295/35r18s on the back, but I fear it would rub everywhere.

I do not have suspension rubbing on the front but the front and rear fenders are rolled. Lowered slightly doesn't exactly help the issue but they would need to be rolled anyway IMHO at stock height. Wheels are polarizing always... I run R1R's on the rear and R888's on the front of the NSX. The NSX is pretty well-known for being a handful in the rain but it's actually pretty good in the wet. Standing water is a COMPLETELY different dynamic tho. You're 100% right there, you'd better be ready with a soft touch on the wheel.

POST 19Original post

^^^Beautiful car, but those wheels don't work... makes it look like a muscle car. I'd go back to the turbo twist IMHO, but I understand what you're trying to accomplish. Those beef'r wheels look similar to the Ferrari 308 style back in the '80s.

POST 20 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 13608302

I'm sure you do understand that I was going for was a bigger contact patch. And I don't disagree with you, the twists are a great looking wheel and very right for the vehicle. But the OZ's came with the vehicle so why not give them a shot? Can't see them from the driver's seat lol.

POST 21Original post

Quotes source post: 13608313

Yep, that's why I said I understand what you're trying to accomplish. It's all good... it's your car, if you want to put 22" spinners, then more power to you.! ha! p.s. don't sell the 18" twists... you may want them in the future if you ever sell the car.

POST 22Original post

I had a similar experience as this. My car came with new v12 tires. After I put kwv3 coilovers on the car would break loose so easily. I then switched to nt01 tires. I was able to regain control of the beast. I've never went back from using these tires.

POST 23 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 13608323

We are on the same page, 100%. The twists are going nowhere, that's for sure. You got 22" spinners for me? I'll trade you my Daytons. And there is nothing quite like the sound of a B3!
