tires are $90+ each x4 , plus install balance and tax$57.so your like paying $500 for the POLISHED rims shipped AND GETTING ZR RATED TIRES (in his price), that last long.


GOOD DEAL after looking around

i will have to say .. i have never heard anything good about those tires... i think they are more for the "look" rather then any actual.. grip.. correct me if i am wrong but typically the higher the tread wear number the harder the compound the tire is made of.. therfore less grip... other factors of course effect your grip but why start off with a crummy tire.. when bf T/A's are like 118 not much for a good all round tire..

thats possible , I only see that specific tire on ebay and a few crummy sites


I had so called New Tires on my sedan, I got NO WHERE in the snow, light or heavy.

Went to the Junk Yard, got 2 tires with a more agressive tread, and am having little trouble in thick and light snow. , they are not as comfortable as the softer touring, but hey
