FOIL http://www.tiredealersites.com/konig...ails&wid=45759
BUMP http://www.tiredealersites.com/konig...ails&wid=45743
ECO-1 http://www.tiredealersites.com/konig...ails&wid=53075
HELIUM http://www.tiredealersites.com/konig...ails&wid=12048
So i finally have a full time job so i can spend a little bit of money on myself. these are what i'm looking at getting in the future and just wanting some opinions. also wanting to know if stretching my stock sized 185/60/15 tires on the 7in wide choices would be safe for autoX. i still have a lot of good miles left on current tires so no need for new one's real soon.

TIA
Michael

Yes, 185's will safely fit up to a 7" rim.

I like the Konig Bump.

Air is the same doesn't matter what tire.

ilikerice · 04-10-2011, 06:19 PM

can i suggest if your going to autox, swap ur 185 to the new rims. but later if you really get into autox, buy some good wider tires 225/50/15 on your steelies and just swap rims at the event. just a thought

SLIK4 · 04-12-2011, 08:31 PM

nobody wants to give any input? i'm leaning towards the foil's

deathwisher · 04-13-2011, 01:20 AM

+1 on Bump.

or try a feather. A liter option I think. 11.9lb.

matthewai · 04-13-2011, 02:58 AM

eco-1 is solid

33OH · 04-13-2011, 01:38 PM

I just went with Konig Feather's. Love them. 185/60/15 doesn't even stretch on a 7", fits perfectly fine.

marlondog · 04-13-2011, 05:14 PM

Those echo-1 look like shit in person, and the foils are hella heavy. I would go for either the heliums or feathers. The heliums are lighter than the feathers(11lbs vs 12lbs). Yet the feathers look better because the long spokes make the wheels look bigger than they are.

I call dibs on those feathers you just bought. We ALL know that a month from now you're gonna have them for sale.

Heh heh heh...

deathwisher · 04-14-2011, 02:14 AM

Helium and feather are only 0.3lb of a difference. Sure it tallies to be 1.2lb in the end but, feathers look nicer.

Just my 2 Canadian cents.

SLIK4 · 04-15-2011, 01:08 AM

btw i'm open to other brands and suggestions...i'm trying to stay at 15 pounds or less and 150 dollars per wheel or less. i just found a thread on here about the heliums not being made very well...prob taking those out of the running.
