Default need new tires at 4500 miles

Yea i need some new tires for my 2004 GT i guess that i have been driving a little hard. this next set i would like to get about 30 thousand out of them. so i am looking for some cheap but good grip and tire wear. That i can drive the car in rain and dry and even possible 1 day of snow but try not to.

It won't affect your speedometer, and it won't "hurt" your ride. Many people "say" that with the wider tires on the front, it adversely affects steering. It tends to follow bumps and go off-course more than with the stock 245's.

I'm sure someone can go into more detail for you, but this is just a heads up.

Like Quickshift said. great tires. Looks good,handles great. BUt it pulls you into every rut.
I have these tires on my car right now up front and I've put 20,000 miles on them and there only half worn(if that). I hit the corners fast.
Belle Tire sells them for $190-210- a piece. If you go to Belle tire, they will beat anyones price, just bring proof and they will hook you up. 275 is the widest you can go up front on 17x8.
