Default look at my tires

Ok this is the second time I type this cuz the first just deleted ( I dont know why )

Anyway .. today I was driving on this old road and it was really dark I was doing around 45mph and suddenly a hole cameup in the middle of the road and I couldnt dodge it so all I heard was a sound of explosion.. but thank god didnt feel it on the steering wheel.. So I stopped at the side of the road and look what I saw..








And just when I calcualted to order a set of nitto tires ( 555R ) this came up and I cant wait cuz Im living overseas nad I will have to wait for a while to get nitto's ... So I have to change em now..

anyway .. I thought I'd share this and get your experience.. cuz I was thinknig of either contential tires or bridgstone tires.. I just dont know which ones ? so what do u guys think ? the ones who changed from BFGoodrich to something else .. how do u like the traction and handling on ur new tires ?

any help is appreciated.

I'm on Toyo advan sport 255/45R18 on the stock rim (same as your rim) and they're much better than i thought they should be. I really liked em
No noisy tires, squeaky or whatever, they grip like if they had claws [:-]

Still running the stock pirelli p-zero's of both my GT and '03 V6. I'm looking at Michelin's as my next buy.

well, i've got Michelin MXM4's, and contrary to my expectations, they're absolutely fantastic. they're quiet as hell, they're quite sticky, bite HARD, and they look like real musclecar tires. if u saw, u'd understand. its weird, maybe its just me.

i got em for 210 apiece installed, with lifetime warranty and nitrogen in the tires.

You could most likely drive on that waiting for the Nittos. Just avoid high speeds and keep an eye on it. Make sure not getting any bigger. It it causing a vibration at all? Did it bend the inside of the rim at all?

I was looking at them on their site, They seem to be great.. I am going to pass on the continential tire dealer today and see for how much I can get something that would keep jolene on road and not sideways..
