  • Apparently my point for some of you turds requires some adjustment. Two different tire manufacturers front to rear is a cosmetically fugly - especially "Narrow-itto's. You drag racin on the street constantly to justify it? I dunno, I guess its just my opnion. If you're rollin with Nitto's in front, you have my blessing. Otherwise, don't be red-neck (FACT!) and run two different brands.

    Btw, has nothing to do with money spent, lol I'm on budget too!! (geezus, I know the flames will come for that one!)

          you know these pompous 4th gen owners are just going to call you a red neck for driving (owning in your case) a third gen alone, they don't care about your tires

                  Sorry Sean, my bad. "RACE" cars justify it.........and yes, you're still a 'neck.

                  • Well, FWIW, this pompous ass 4th gen owner runs 2 different brand tires... Nitto(always thought they were 285/35/18, but found out this winter they are just 265's) up front and Falkens in the rear(285/35/18). 285 falkens will go up front at some point this year so I can dump those POS Nitto's...

                            I agree with Brent to an extent. You've transformed this car into a very sharp car. You have already spent upwards of $5,000 on the car after the purchase price, what is another glass of water(aka ~$300) when your already drowning. I think is silly to buy temporarly tires like sean it saying, Everytime you mount and dismount a 35 seriese tire the more likely the wheel will get damaged.
                            If you haven't ordered wheels, why don't you consider 17s the tires are cheaper and the less likely you are to damage the wheel on these MI roads.
