Getting new tires...

On Wednesday. And I would just like to say, driving with the VDC off when you know you can wreck your tires is REALLY fun. I've gone through so much gas in the last week haha.....

Just worried about me liking it too much from now until I get my new tires that I keep the VDC off after the new sneakers get put on.

Well if you want cheap tires. Get hankook cause they are going for $178.00 for 225/45/19 and if you have a discount tire they will price match that so you won't have to wait for shipping and stuff.

+1 I have the same tires and love them. When I got them I went with 235 up front and 255 in the back but know now that you can easily fit 245 up front and 275 in the back on stock wheels. My racing rims I have 285 Hoosier A6 slicks all the way around on 18X9 rims

Put a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports on a few thousand miles back. Great grip, great ride, and oh sooooo quiet.

I would just like to say you guys suck.....and thanks.

I had a quote from town fair tire and my mind made up for the Ventus V12 for $1115 including alignment. All this talk of the pilot super sports got me doing a little research. Found tires international would do $1200 for the pilot super sports mounted, balanced, and 4 wheel alignment....checked the V12 too for TI and they were $200 cheaper than town fair so I decided to sink the savings into the pilot super sports.

So ya, you guys suck cause I had to call and cancel my appt with town fair...giving them some dumb excuse. But thanks for making me do the research and get a better tire for the same price...........

You guys rock!
