Sooo i got a new set all around since i am due soon. They are soo meaty, it gives the car a whole new look. Just need spacers and it will be pure sex. I got Firestone Firehawk GTs. They are amazing best tire i have owned so far. Quite, smooth, and helps loosen up the lack of power steering.

^^I like, looks rather meaty indeed!
Nice looking set of tires. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought you had painted wheels?
The one with painted wheels is jigs aka 4g63lover i believe is his name on here.Quote:

Mine has a chip like that also on it but once winter is over the bumper will be mounted and painted so im not worried about it
So here's hoping I can use them since the jury is out on whether my car is totaled or not, but here's what came for me today:

I went with these because the Diamante has them on there and I love they way it rides, smooth, very quiet, grippy, long lasting, great customer reviews, inexpensive, and they have a manufacturer's road hazard warranty.
How much they run you ima need new tires for my new wheels
Ripped out my passenger seat, rear seat, carpet, a lot of side plastic trim, and other small bits, getting ready for new Kicker system to go in on Wednesday, as well as the slowly changing of interior from tan to black.
$488.00 Shipped good price for what I got. Tire Rack all the way!Quote:

13's eh? Long as he keep 'em clean. Word to Mike Epps lol!
Nice! Heard lots of good about those Khumos. I use 215/60 R15 Solus Xpert KH20's on the GA for wintertime. Awesome tires.Quote:

Thanks bro, I already know about that ride penalty, I'm ready. Like I said, the D rides really nice with them, and in the rain they never let loose once, and this is a big, softly sprung car we're talking about.Quote:

You'd be correct about the D's tires, they are 215/60 R16's, and cushy. In fact, you can see the sidewall flex if you rock the car from the side. You won't do that with these 225/40's, their sidewall won't budge under my thumb.Quote:

Never had a ride issue, and never had a unusual tire wear issue. Keep your alignment in check, and rotate every 7,000 miles, and you'll get the most out of your tires. I'm at 43K with my 235/45 R17 General Exclaim UHPs, longer than most people have gotten with these. Good alignment and on time tire rotation make or breaks good tire life.
Just means you need more poon... Too much free time ;p

Duly noted, good sir! I wouldn't say it's bad to know OEM tire sizes, but it's somewhat obsessive/compulsive lol!!Quote:

Got alot done last night. New exhaust is all tig'd up and back on the car, I was under the car installing the exhaust and I got OCD like I normally do and pulled both driveshafts out and re-routed some stuff that wasnt 100% to my liking. Front bumper is off and im gonna start fixing that today, hopefully be dropping it off for paint friday or saturday. Steering column is out of the car right now, my little adapter I made isnt the best idea of terms of safety, so I am extending the column a few inches and ditching the adapter. Coming down to the wire, MOD here I come!!!!
You have the worst car OCD ever + that's awesome when everything is on point.
Glad to hear about your progress.
your gonna paint the whole car Stewi?
