Angry Bastards

Some bastard tried to rip off my head ligths but he poked my front tire in the process and the alarm went off. He only managed to bend my side a little but my tire is gone.
So I decided to change all four tires on my OEM (2000) rims and ordered YKOHAMA AVSdB 225/55/16.
Does any body know if the size will fit and if I made the right decision.
Also will I need to do a wheel alighnment when I change the tires?
Any responce is greatly apreciated.

Try doing a search for Einstein's old postings on the topic.

Sorry to hear about the mishap with attempt on the HIDs but at least they didn't get them. In Singapore that vandal would have been caned and jailed if caught. I think we should have the same law over here don't you think?

Cool

I don't think 225/55/16 will fit your stock rims buddy. Yokoma have good tires. Look at Dunlop also, they (Dunlop SP series) ride better.
When you change your tire:
You need all four tires weighted and balanced
& You need a wheel alignment

What and the world was that idiot trying to do? Be careful where you park, hopefully he will get what is coming to him.

At least you are geting some better tires. That is the size (225/55/16) tires i'm going to get when the time comes.

ZeeG where in Brooklyn do you live. I was just driving a couple days ago on Av X and East 14 and I saw a Black TL with headlights missing. Sorry to hear about your car bro.

I live on nostrand and R. The car was in my back yard. I heard a pop and my alarm went off. When I came outside my wheel was poped and my light on the side was sticking out a little and the corner of the plastic that touches the corner of the light was bent in. I dont know what they were tring to do.

Are you using two user name, ZeeG?!?!?!

I have 225/55/16 on mine and I LOVE THEM!!!

Be prepared for heavier steering, better handling and braking. More noisy as well...
