Default Curb 1, me 0

So, I decided it would be a good idea to destroy a curb today. Seems like I was wrong.

It's the rear passenger rim, which is being changed out by the dealer anyway. I'm going to say the tire was messed up and I just didn't see it to see if they will change out the tire too.

Problem is ... If they don't change out the tire, where can I find a Pirelli P Zero Nero, size 255, 55, 17. They aren't on the website, nor ebay. Is it special order from Ford, or did I read the tire wrong? If so, how much do they cost?

Stock tire should be a 235/55/17 not 255/55/17

No need to keep score. The curb always wins anyway.

I have the CDC aggressive...so I try to stay away from curbs. Good luck with the replacement rim.

Three days after you got the car? [:@][:@]

That's ok, I very nearly backed into my 2V (It's sitting in my driveway, waiting for me to get a driver so I can deliver it to the dealership) with the new car last night after work. I would have f'ing cried.

Side note: Why did they go with 235's for the stock tires? They are ridiculously narrow for a sports car.

You think thats bad? Imagine being a 04+ gto and cant put fat tires on it without major modification.
