are these tires worth $750?

SON1C · January 30th, 2012, 09:49 PM

with the forum discount they'd be 500ish, 400 max man if you need new tires you might as well go with one of AM's packages

WhiteShadow · January 30th, 2012, 09:54 PM

yeah i want to go with one of the packages. are the nittos any good? i really wanted a set of the bf goodrich tires. it will cost about 100 bucks more with mounting and stuff though.

WhiteShadow · January 30th, 2012, 09:56 PM

actually i totaled all my costs with mount and balance at sears, and its actually a dollar less than the nitto's. but id rather get it all in one place.

i was planning on getting 245's up ront and 275's out back. but is AM have a better setup with 275 on front and 285 rears?

No. I'm really not sure why they push 275s on the front so much. The wider the front tires are, the more drag you'll get from them and the more your car will follow any grooves in the road. I personally ran 245s up front and 285s in the rear of my old V6.

Pretty sure those are from AM too. Either that or the center caps are

+1

this is why i dont want an AM bundle. 275's up front seem too big to me. i can still run 285s out back, but i personally would like 245s up front. maybe it will end up cheaper.

"my tires are 225-35-19" from a review of those nittos....19's on a cobalt? wtf?

anyway, I have 275s in the front and don't mind them. They do follow the road a lot but they grip amazing and look cool lol.

Do you guys with Nittos like them? I have BFGs on my car currently.

how loud is the road noise with your BFGs? i've heard from others that they are loud once worn in a bit

SlowSix · January 31st, 2012, 05:54 PM

I never really noticed to be honest. but then again I have an O/R exhaust with longtubes and flowmasters haha.

Front tires are 275/40 BFG g-force T/A KDW and the rears are 275/40 BFG g-force T/A KD I believe. I might have that backwards, but the front are more of a performance all season and the backs are a summer performance tire.

is their bad road noise on the bfg's? ive heard they are loud. even though i really want them.

dschack · January 31st, 2012, 06:15 PM

You can get those wheels from Discount Tire, I bought my FR replicas for 400 bucks (I work there tho) normal price is like 450 plus mounting blah blah blah. I bet you could get out of Discount Tire/Americas Tire for under 500 for wheels.

eleanorGT · January 31st, 2012, 06:17 PM

dump the rubber..keep the rims..
