HMT huddle time
 
ok hears the deal i need more traction on my car and i foun d an awesome deal for some ADR Ricochet Wheels and Tires, i know they sound more generic than my grandmas colin but they are only $500 bones, what do you think, no i dont know what kind of tires they are but do you think they will give me the traction i need?????

Not if they are cheap tires.I went cheap on my rim/tire combo and got some Ventus made by Hancook.THEY SUCK.Its real easy to break them loose while cornerring.If you want traction get some Yokahamas or Nitto drag radials or something other than cheap tires.

i meant...wont the sheer size of the tires make up for the shitty quality of tire, they cant be that bad can they?

It will help a little but if your car is lowered unless you have camber correction it really wont make a difference.I have 17x7s.I dont have camber correction andI can break them loose really easy and Im not even boosted yet(my rims only weigh 16 pounds..that why also).When Im boosted Ill prob. be able to scratch 4th...lol.If I would do it again I would spend the 200 bucks for some better tires.

my car isent lowered at all, i didnt want to mess with the stock suspension becuase it only makes it worse.

not really, stiff is good, but why would you think some unknown brand of tire is going to cure all your traction woes?...you need to go out and buy some good tires if you want good traction
