Smile Wheel Directory: SSR Professor MS3 18x8.0 +37 / 18x9.0 +37




The SSR Professor MS3 18x8.0J +37 Front and 18x9.0J +37 with Falken FK453 225/40-18 all around makes for a nice stylish street wheel/tire combination not to make it overly tenacious on grip, or harsh on FR-S's modest power ranges, riding very comfortably and quietly, but retaining every character or response and feedback as summer street compound/construction. It's an excellent way to add a bit more grip for your tastes. A tire for those who still drive mostly in the streets combining the latest tire technology and balance of comfort, quiet, lasting, consistent, and predictable, mild-character performance tire with highly controllable rise and falloff of grip levels to make it safe and sound for cars like the FR-S.

It's a bit heavier than the now discontinued, SSR Type C-RS I was using up to this point, but the darty, grippy, hard-core and wonderful, Falken RT615K is now reserved for the raceway. Saving the precious rubber for the hard-driving duties, and preventing the heat-cycle deterioration of race compounds.
