New Tires Ordered
 

Just decided on a new set of tires.

Going with the Yokohama S. Drives. I got just over 30k on the stock RE050s. I should have them delivered within the next week and will post a review once I get them on and have done a couple test drives! :)

I'm definitely interested in your review. I was thinking I would probably go with those tires when I'm ready to change mine. What did you pay for the set?

$965 shipped with the road hazard option included from Discount Tire.

Not a bad price.

I thought so as well. I didn't have to get the road hazard option (that in itself was almost $100)...but better safe than sorry right?

30k on your stock tires! I think thats awesome! I know mine won't make 30k...

Haha...I try to get the most out of them (don't want to spend $1k all the time time). I figured since I'm starting to wear down the wear bars...it's time to change. What's weird is that the outer edges of my rear tires are way more worn than the insides.

Hmm... hard cornering? Lots of on/off ramps?

Nothing out of the ordinary. I'm not worried about it though. I'm stoked about my new tires though!!

Look what came in today!! They're going on tomorrow and then time to break them in...

Ooooooh, niiiiice!

Thanks! Getting them broken in will be lots of fun. :D

Well....I got them installed today. It was a PITA and turned into way more than I bargained for. The place I planned on taking it to said they couldn't install them when I got there. This was after I called them 3 separate times, told them what type of car I drove and what size tires I had.

So when I got there, he said they didn't have the right machine to install my tires on my car. They recommended that I go to this other tire shop down the road and they will take care of me. They took care of me all right...to the tune of $35 a tire. They also tried to push a couple other services on me (alignment and nitrogen). I agree that both are beneficial, but at this point, I was already annoyed and told them just to install the tires and that's it.

It took them a few hours and when I picked up the car, I found out that they nicked one of my rims. Oh well...what's done is done. The tires looks sweet and they ride awesome. It's going to take a few hundred miles to really break them in and be able to provide a legitimate review; so I'll post back in a couple of weeks.

How have you guys' rims turned out after getting a tire change?

They just suck at it...

next time go to advance performance tire and wheel. :tiphat:
