I was just wondering if anyone else had true Advan tires on their lude. Not US spec Yokohamas but Advans. I am running A-680R's at the moment and really like them. This was the first time I really got to give them hell, and WOW I think my car handels better with my stock wheels and these tires rather than my 18s!

I've only seen Advan tires on a stock 00' Toyota MR2 and these were 205/16 series tires.

If those are grey-market Advan tires, and they do not have a US D.O.T. approval, most states (including PA) will fail you for state inspection if they notice...

Chances are they won't notice though...

Wow, I had no idea I wouldnt pass inspection for having these things! Lucky I have other wheels to put on. Thanks for the heads up though.

yeah... you can buy them from InlineFour.com, but they are advertised strickly for track use because they aren't DOT approved. They only stock certain sizes, and are $$$ as well They are awesome tires though.

buying anything from inlinefour is $$, why not go with a diff aftermarket tire?

I got these tires from a local tuner shop. They messed up one of my old Konig Verdict rims while my car was at their shop so they owed me a big favor. I really liked the tires and needed new ones really bad. It doesnt really make any sense why I have them on, because I only use these wheels in the winter. Maybe I should sell um? How much would a set go for...only around 1000 miles on them...nipples still showing.
