Default New Tint & Tires

Got some new tires all the way around, didnt care for the stock Goodyear RSA's. Not to mention one of them had 2 knots and a caved in belt... so, I got these babies. I also had the front two windows tinted to match the stock rear windows, and the front banner put in.

I love the new beefy tires, and the stance is better. Also have more ground clearance.

Check it out, see what you think.











By the way, the other 3 RSA's I still have if anyone wants, just let me know. They still have about 80% tread on them.

Yea they absolutely sucked. The 205 size was way too small in the sidewall depth. I like the treads on the BF's I got, and the sidewall is much thicker.

Which ones did you go with ? I dont kno if you can tell by my photos, but these are the ones I went with :

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...il.do?pc=38522

Its an all weather daily driver, so I got the most aggressive / sporty all season tire I could get. Originally I wanted the KDW 2s :

Tire Details - Discount Tire Direct

The All seasons I got ride nice, no noise, and feel super sticky. Much better ride than the RSA's. I've had a lot of good luck with my BF Goodrich tires over the years.

the ones currently on are the RSA's
the ones that will be going on is MXM4
or what ever the shop has on hand i'll go with.
the seasons almost done and only 3 races left and i dont think the misses is gonna play so any replacement will work till feb.
the MXM4s dont heat up as fast as BFGs and i get them for cheap and they last long. ive corded 4 KDWs in 10mins on the track before, they heat up way to fast. and there All seasons too.
