(f'n price is going to be $1200 next year when i want to replace them because they are so popular:willy: )

LOL, that is good, you wanna slip and slide....:lol:

They suck so bad that "Tom's" has picked them up as a distributor and he's got a post up with some size info and prices.:ack:

Quick Silver Z 11-04-2007 09:03 AM

Still no wear rating for these tyres??? :bigears :lurk:

BitViper 11-04-2007 09:06 AM

Says 280 on the tire itself...

I got mine on..they are VERY quiet.....The Guys at the Goodyear store where I had them mounted were vey impressed with them and said that from the other sets that the've seen they wear about the same as the GS-D3's

Quick Silver Z 11-04-2007 09:20 AM

Thanks BV, that's a good enuff number! Looks like these tires will do the trick... :D

Mine come tomorrow. I can't wait to get them on. The Michs I have are so bad, I thought I had a flat going home yesterday. Everyone is getting them from TOMZ, but the place I ordered from are far less than his. I just hope there are no issues!

Sorry Bit .... been out of town. Yes, I mounted the 275's up front - 295's rear. 17/18 configuration. The 275's are not a wheel well issue. Luv 'em. Get 'em. Drive 'em hard.

Be sure you get a 4-wheel alignment right after mounting. Just because it's a smart thing to do. ;)

Too late..already bought'em and mounted them....so far...I like them

Got them mounted yesterday.... so far seems good but all new tires are good. They do seem a little hard riding. What pressure is everybody using in these?

17" tire???
if so I would say from 26 PSI to 32 PSI, depending on the ride you like.
I have mine set at 27 PSI, and they are great.

Just returned from Spring Mt and ran 34 rear and 37 front (cold) and worked quite well

Diceman9 11-17-2007 11:08 AM

I checked mine and they had about 37-38. Took them down to 28. Much better......

RainJ 11-17-2007 07:22 PM

Who has the best price on these? (20" and 19")

floyd66 11-18-2007 08:05 AM

Looks like I have two of the same


Despite the fact that my mother may have taught me about not saying anything unless I had something nice to say, I simply must comment.

THESE TIRES LOOK AWFUL!

Running these would be like buying directional tires and then mounting them backwards on one side of the car. The company can argue this whatever way they want to, but it is just plain cheap of them not to produce two molds for tires that have a directional (even if only in appearance) pattern.

It reminds me of the low cost aftermarket aluminum wheels that appear to be spinning forward on one side of the vehicle and backwards on the other side because the manufacturer only cast one wheel. Ack!

If having a symmetrical car means paying more for tires, then I am willing to pay more....

LOL, you think these look awful??????
OK....
If you did the research, these tires are designed this way, the design enables you to be able to drive the piss out of these, especially when it is raining.... No slipping, no sliding, and the way they distribute water out of the tire is awsome!!!!!!!!!!

Quick Silver Z 11-18-2007 10:43 AM

Performance and price are paramount on my next tire decision, tread design (looks) is way down on the list.
