Discounttires.com would sell me tire size I needed

Joepro · 08-29-2013, 06:04 PM

The steering response is garbage, and the sidewalls are soft and mushy. The corner stability is laughable, Michelin shelled out some serious money when they paid off all the reviewers and have many drinking their juice. If your Z sits in the garage and sees no twisties and you don't really "drive" it, it is most likely a "good" tire, IMO it performs on the level of tires I have driven on in the 7-800 dollar range. I had s-04s before the PSS and because of all the reviews I switched...MISTAKE...next time it will be re-11. It was a terrible waste of my money and I regret it every time I go on a curvy road.

Also I have bought tires from onlinetires.com before with success, they are hit and miss on price.

Just happened to me today. Wanted some 245/30/20 for my car and they wouldnt sell me dunlaps, hankook, etc because of load rating. I didnt even bring in the car, just the bare wheels. They asked what it was going on and I told them and he said no... only thing they would sell me in nanking or whatever that were not in stock... kinda pissed.

Man that really sucks

Do you think you ticked someone off, or was it just another stupid random act?

They have to protect themselves against the likes of people who would sue McDonald's because they are fat.

Another employee fired. My car was in parking lot for only 25 minutes, ironically when he left the building.

the discount i go to will work on my car spacers or not, hell they took off my factory lug locks!

they wont however sell you a tire that has a LOAD rating less than what the factory tire calls for. im not sure why you guys are complaining. try and dif tire manufacturer in that same size. ive seen it fluctuate in buying OEM tires on the nismo.
