seriously stop messing around and get some tires. Youre gonna die driving that thing with tires like that. My shop sells cheepies for like $100 each installed, how can you spend all this money on your S4 and not be able to buy tires for your TL? prioritize.

but if you had read, i've already met 5 people to buy tires which were all worse. the money i spent on my s4 was from '08-'10 so it's really not relevant. and right below that img, it clearly says "looking at this hurts with how broke i am" speaking of my regret for those purchases, and that i was only on that website to try and GET money from that company on a core charge i never exchanged.
anyway, i sold that car because i had to take a huge salary cut. then i got the TL with extra financial cushion, but then i took another cut in pay. so right now i'm doing what i can to get a new pair.
anyway, not looking for sympathy. just stating fact.
@ravin, thank you i enjoy that one as well

haha yes sir. i'm really surprised it took til NOW to get called out about it 
it's some previous damage from the former owner, i'm going to try and straighten it as much as i can, i just haven't gotten the nerve to try. couple creases that i can't do anything about but i want to get the hood:fender to meet up.
you can see it here, although that area is not in focus.
thanks for the nice comments
i have a few from yesterday i'll put up soon....it includes an evo on Works

it's actually funny because sunday morning i woke up early as hell and decided to go for a drive. 1 mile away from home i find these on the side of the road with a sign [$50], so i flipped her around and hit the atm and boom. tires on the TL (well on tuesday since everything was closed)
i gotta snap pictures again now. i think it looks nice with the taller tire in back and once the snow falls having the larger diameter and thinner track should help out quite a bit in keeping the back stable.

The shop i got to deal majorly in 16" and SUV tires....my ex girl was in Kansas and I took her there....they put 4 Bridgestone pole position 960AS (all season) with ~75% thread, installed/balanced for $180
i wish they had a good inventory of 17"....what cars come with 16"s any more ? all cars are pretty much 17+

i'm sure going from 8->4 will help out his assistance. i bet he was like 'how the fuck am i gonna find that shit' because i hate looking for 2, 2 full sets must be hard to come by especially in the awkward tl size/weight rating
also, i'm contemplating something. i've got these left over resonated 2.5" diameter pipes...maybe get one put in in place of the stock resonator.

damnit i should go do it tonight. i actually have a sweet ghetto little exhaust shop thats local. you talk to the guys in back, haggle price and then tell the lady up front. wish i knew more spanish, i could get an extra $10 off, but i bet it wouldn't be more than $20
put it up in your windshield. the law says your plate needs to be visible on the front. they won't do anything, if they do its cus they hate you
