I'd pass on those china made tires unless your pretty skimp on money, but tires you shouldnt mess with.

Try getting America's tire to price match tire rack's prices. I've heard of people doing that before.

and kevin said he asked that v6-p guy for you already right?

I paid around $360 for my two front falken ziex ze 512's. i think they are the best bang for your buck.

I have only delt with America's tire for the TL they price match and have never done me wrong, the two Les Schwab's by my house suck big donkey balls!! They never give me upfront pricing and never come out on the floor to help me.

My durango has 31.5x10.5in tires on it!! Thats over a $1500 sale even with cheap tires but oh well America's tire is my go to place for great service.

D'OH !!!! I got hit from the side! Maybe time to buy another car?


As for tires, I agree, don't cheap out on Chinese tires, go with Korean Nexen tires LOL. I got all 4 installed and balanced for $360. They are super quiet, grip sure beats stock michelins.

what happened val? the car is still drivable right? insurance fixing it?

nexen tires are so-so, they are still a cheap option but better then china stuff. Hankooks are in the same catagory, so-so made in korea tires.
I got lucky and bought my set of japanese made falkens on craigslist. Sometimes you find some good stuff on there

more likely worse than the 17s, I'm not planning on selling them anyway. Kevin just likes to tell me to sell them randomly. Actually, quite a few people constantly tell me to sell them, but it's ususally "Sell your A-Specs.... to me..." hah
