Default TIREEEE-D of not having a tire.

I NEED TIRES. MY GT IS SITTING BECAUSE MY RADIAL GOT A NAIL!! 2 days. 2 long.

What should i do? switch to 18x10 rims or bigger?
or stick with my 18x9s. does it really make that much of a difference?
-----------------------
than should i purchase another set of 285 nitto 555Rs? thats what i was running?
OR should i change to some bfgs or something? idk what route to go? or the nittos 555rs the ultimate or am i missing out elsewhere?

from what i've heard it is worth it to go to a wider rim. You should pick up a tenth or two in the 1/4. better traction and for cobra owners less wheel hop.

At least you didn't get 11 screws. 8 in one tire, 2 in another, and 1 in another. So that equates to 3 flats my friend. [8D]


Two have since been replaced one repaired. Thank God they finally lost their pressure at the dealer I work at while the car was parked... otherwise I'daben fu**ed
