Default Pics of my S4 with AEZ Simas X wheels- just installed

I finally put my new AEZ Simas X 18x8.5 wheels on last week. I have a set of RE730's at 225/40-18 mounted. I will go with 235's next time, but I wanted to make sure I didn't have any problems with rubbing first. Thanks to Rich Weinstock for putting together the AEZ group buy and finding the Audi center cap which fits perfectly and looks great.

RE730's can become a bit noisy as they wear in.

Default Speaking from experience?

I've ridden/driven on the 730s, and they are supreme tires. Quiet, grippy, great on the wet.

If you turn down your tv slightly, you can probably hear mine right now

Default Had them on my last maxima. Yes, they had decent grip for a non R - compound

tire, but they became noisy at about 50% tread depth. The thing about tires & noise is, that it can vary some between different tire widths and profiles and on different weight cars.

They are a bit noisy, but for the money, I don't think they can be beat.
