F#ck! I need new tires already! Please Help! Also Rim question.
I finally installed some cambers after 4-5 months of riding my comptech and koni's with my axis 19's with 225/35/19 toyo proxes. Upon installation, my friend told me that my two front tires were fucked up because the insides were worn out and I needed new ones! On top of that he told me that my front rim was bent on the inside! Now my question is whether this dent in the rim needs to be fixed before I put the new tires on them. Can this rim fuck up my new tire in anyway? Also, where is the cheapest place to buy tires? Any rim repair shops recommended in the bay area? I don't even know of any! Thanks, any info helps.

Pretty cheap to leave it stock though... in fact, it's cost me $0! Good luck with your rims & tires. I thought you needed a camber kit when I started reading your post but now

Definately sounds like you need a camber kit. Did you get you shit aligned when you played with your suspension? I have an H&R drop, same tires and 19 inch Axis Mod 7's. My tires wear a bit more on the inside, but not that drastic.

Hate to break it to ya, but 19" tires aren't cheap; when I shopped around, the cheapest I could find was $199 for 235/35/19. Perhaps prices have gone down. Worth doing some calling around. But if you have a bent rim, it needs to get repaired, otherwise no matter how much balancing you do (even if its Hunter-balanced (i.e. "road force" balancing), you'll get steering vibrations. However you could just rotate the bad rim to the rear and not worry about vibrations, unless it's really bent and you'll still feel a hint of a shake at the rear of the car.

Acura TLS are SLOW
I just bought tires for my 19"s
I got 225/35 BFgoodrich Scorchers T/A at Onlinetires.com for cheap. $500 for all 4 tires
Everywhere I looked, they were going for $150+. I like these tires alot. Very sticky and responsive when cornering, but the problem is that the Scorchers are not all season. Definitly great tires
