May have missed it but what brand tires where you plan on getting for your wheels eventually?

tipnitty · 02-27-2014, 06:04 AM

Depends on what size wheels I get. If I get 19" rear tires, I'm mostly stuck with continental tires. But if i do 18" or 17" wheels, I'll do a nitro street tire on the rear and found a few different sets of tires I like. Some were Bridgestone and another set was falken.

My favorite tire is the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus Run Flat tires. But being almost $400 a tire, I can't quite swing that.

run flat's weigh a metric ton. u no want. conti DW are treating me nice so far. even though i wanted bfg summer sports.

Well of course your tires are going to be expensive, you're choosing Michelin, there are plenty of other good brands out there that aren't as much like Bridgestone.

Had those on the GAGT, lasted 18,000 miles or so. I was pissed. I think the car was out of alignment some how though.

sleepyalero · 02-27-2014, 01:41 PM

Depends on the tread rating. Suprised you didny get an alignment.

tipnitty · 02-27-2014, 02:02 PM

Like I said, depends on the wheels I get. I'm searching for wheels, but probably won't buy a set until I register both of my cars and pay the taxes.

I did get one. Apparently over a year of driving it came out of alignment some how.

Pot holes!

tipnitty · 03-04-2014, 06:24 AM

Thinking about adding a few touches of color here and there. Going to think of this idea before I pull the trigger on the set up I'm thinking of.

tipnitty · 03-05-2014, 12:34 PM

Wheels are PURCHASED and I am quite happy. Now to decide on tires. Hopefully I can buy tires today or tomorrow and have them together by next week.

He took the pictures down before I saved them. But I need suggestions on tires. I don't need super expensive, but I don't want cheap tires.

Found some Goodyear Eagle F1 "supercar" tires for the rear at an aggressive price. I might buy those.

TDavis · 03-05-2014, 01:10 PM

What wheels.

What tire size are you wanting
