Well, my front tire has a bubble in it. The other one has a slow leak....and the back left tire is bald on the inside because there was something wrong with my alignment...that has nothing to do with me..


A frickin bubble!! WTF!!!!!!??????


Ok, i need to buy some tires...this is gonna be painful....

Time to get some new shoes...

Why not go for the Pilot A/S... Gain some rain/snow confidence for the winter months.

Man, I just got a set of Falken Zeix 512s - 225/45 allseason z-rated 94W fit our 7" stock rim width and 360treadwear rating. I've had them on for two days now and love 'em. If my car wasn't filthy from the rain I'd have taken a couple pics so you can see what they look like.

Oh and the price was $408 shipped from discounttiredirect.com

Hard to beat that value!

Nice, I'm also in need of new rubber. Have you had them in the rain yet? And or how much better do they handle than the stock rubber?

I need a good all year around tire.

you probably threw out the alignment with that big ass pot hole you hit to cause that bubble . Slow down on the turns also and the inside and outside edges of your tires won't wear down as fast
