Baby's got new shoes!...RS-3s on 6ULs

[Doug Kott]

The Hankooks and new wheels arrived recently, so I'm gonna give 'em a try at the Divisional. 225/45-15 Ventus RS-3 tires and 15x8 949 Racing 6UL wheels. I like the matte bronze finish...I think it looks good with the yellow paint, and it's great for hiding brake dust!

For goodness sake Doug, I should just stay home this coming weekend

What tires were you running before, please don't say run flats ... Lol

On a more serious note you are going to love the hankooks and your new rims look awesome

SCHWEETNESS

Thanks, guys! The open spoke pattern shows off those strapping 10-in. rotors too! I had Dunlop Direzza Star Specs before, 205/225 widths, and now I'm going to try 225s all around. So the big unknown is whether it'll feel too loose. Circumference is smaller in the rear than the Direzzas (45 series versus 50), so it's shorter effective gearing--good for the most part, but it may necessitate the dreaded 2-3/3-2 upshift/downshift on faster courses.

It may lift the inside front wheel now...have to see if Mako can catch an image.
