New Pirelli's for my Lexus ISF


Recommended Posts

Ok this will be my third set of tires in less then a year....

Keep in mind, i ONLY bought Nitto's because the Pirelli's i wanted were on national back order.....

i roasted the first set of Nitto's to shreds doing donuts for a youtube video. Lesson learned. Got new ones, had it aligned......but there is no camber adjustment and no toe adjustment at all in the rear (from the factory). So my alignment guy got it as close as he could and that is that....so now after two trips to L.A. and countless miles driving with the rear end "squatting" a little, it is showing slight wear on the rears already. Also, keep in mind, people who DONT lower their ISF's are having issues with inner tire wear. Mine is lowered 2". The fronts arent as bad as the rear because the toe IS adjustable from the factory and is a lot better off then the rears.

Anyway, I installed the new Figs Mega-arms (adjustable LCA) and Adjustable toe links so now i should be wearing tires evenly.

Here is the new tires.... 285/25/20 rear and 235/30/20 front (my Nitto's are 275's in rear so these are wider!)

So then we should see a burn out video to get rid of the old tires? Awesome Steve!!

"This may be true but it is a chrysler sebring which is synonomous with being a p.o.s. car. Personally I gotta say it's getting really tiring having to clean off the sopping wet panties from my Hyundai Elantra every morning. Bitches love Hyundais."

Pirelli P zero are good tires, but why not Goodyear Eagle F, or michein pilot super sport?

The goodyear is a bit better imho. Better grip from launch and in the corners, stops quicker in a straight line. Although not that good on rain, but i think there isn't that much rain in cali? :P

Nice fender roller, i like it when people do most of the things on their car themselves.

Thinking is the root of all problems...

You ALWAYS get what you pay for.
