My Winter Upgrades

[JET]

Get some 235/45 17's. They fit great on my silver car. I have Kumho MX's on there and they are a pretty good tire. I took Kracka's advice and tried the Sumitomo HTRZ's on the M and there isn't a better tire for the money! Don't get the plus', just the regular HTRZ, I think Tire Rack had them.

Get Falken Fk-615's or Dunlop Direzza's.

Cant wait to see this thing out and about!

Was the rim on the silver car pretty much the same as mine? 17x8 35 offset?

If I went through anyone on here, it'd probably be Pete at Goodyear who sponsors the forum.

I also added a couple others I've been looking at. I'm not a tire expert at all, so they all look good to me.

I dont deal with those kind of tires so I wouldnt really know much about them but I do deal with Good year, michelin, bridgestone, dunlop, ect.... and sam's club's prices as far as I'm aware always beats the dealer...

[GsXtUrBo98]

I will look for you anyways just in case... P235/45R17 right?

[DSM_421]

Rims are sick!

How is Mo coming along with the exhaust?

[Halon]

Hopefully should have the car back this weekend.

[turbotalon1g]

I can't wait to see that thing on the road.
I just go with the best deal.

[polishmafia]

brandon - ill take a look at what i can get you tonight when i get to the shop. you picked some good options up there, but i can see what else is available too.

[123abc]

Hopefully I'll see ya on the next cruise, right?

[A//// Guy]

Brandon check out Edgeracing.com , awesome prices. Have a local discount tire match the prices and then mount them for you.

[b00stcreep21]

Just come see me at work dude, since it's a whole 10 blocks from your house

[Halon]

Do you work today?

[Super Bleeder!!]

Saw your car last night Brandon. It was lookin good

[JET]

Brandon, mine are 17x8 with 32mm offset, so basically the same. They don't rub at all!

[Halon]

Cool thanks Jet. It came down to the Falken 452's, or the Sumitomo's, and I went with the HTR Z III's. Doesn't seem like you can beat them for the price!
