Question about Tires & Wheels.

YearOne · April 26th, 2007, 03:06 PM

Its time for me to get wheels. But I'd like to ask you guys some questions on the subject.

#1 Will 20' wheels give me better performance (cornering/handeling)?

#2 Should I have Tirerack install the TMS and straps for an extra $460 or should I buy the wheels for now and have my TMS's taken out and used in the new wheel since i already have them?

#3 Would it be cheaper having Tirerack do the whole shabang, mounting, balancing, and TMS? ot have a local place do the swap.

4th and final. I have the Ford warranty on all tires. They fix/replace them for free in the event of a flat. Will that be covered with new wheels/tires?

Thanks in advance, Jake

1) NO

2)have your TMS's taken out

3)more than likely local

4)NO they won't cover it.

i dont know what look youre going for, but 20s in my opinion are too big, i like 17s and 18s. The straps are one time use, unless you find a smaller wheel-usually-they arent worth the trouble anyhow...
belive me, they are more hassle than they are worth, I work at Discount Tire.

Oh, and by the way, did you know the guy on your avatar died? I saw it when it first came out...kinda sad...
