What should i do??

[Bryan02TA]

Blew a tire completely apart today in the cobra. See what happens when i drive it!!?

It's running on the spare right now on the right rear. I might as well get 2 new rear tires, so what tires should i get. Should i try and hold out and order some tires or what? I'm not getting any drag radials b/c i plan on getting slicks in the future. Whatcha think?

[Tally TransAm]

first take off the spare from the rear and put it on the front, otherwise you can damage the diff

as for tires, get nittos

[Bryan02TA]

the nitto street tires like what Tony has?

[01COBRA]

i'm taking my 275 off tomorrow if u need something to ride on for like a week or two u can have them

[Tally TransAm]

nitto drags

great daily tire

[01COBRA]

yep i'm stepping up to 315 tomorrow

[Bryan02TA]

i don't wanna half to worry about Jess driving in the rain on drags, so i wanna go street tire, are the Nitto's Tony has good enough for street and strip?

I'm calling you right now Bryant

I don't have any probs in the rain with the NT-555s. And they have decent traction for a longer life tire.

[Bryan02TA]

cool, i'll order the nitto's after i get back from Vegas. Is the best place still Discount Tire Direct to get them?

Thanks Bryant for letting me use your 275 for a week or so!!

[01COBRA]

no problem dude

[Gt]

Yup, Discount Tire. I got mine for like $116 a tire.

[Bryan02TA]

they are $170 a piece on discount tire direct with free shipping. I can get them to my doorstep for $340. Is that too much?

[slmdLS1]

tirerack.com had cheaper prices than DTD when i was pricing tires. @ ~115 a tire i think it would be about $270 to your door. shipping on 4 for me was only $42 from Louisianna with FedEx 3 day express.

Yeah dude. Nitto streets are a great medium. I'm pulling 2.0's all day launching like a pus on mine and I only have the 450's. The 555's only have a 205 in 16"....damn

LOL we'll see how well they hold up to my car in a month or two bwhahahaha!

[Bryan02TA]

oh well, i guess i'll just bite the bullet and get those nitto's for $340. Unless there is another comparable street tire out there for cheaper. I know JD runs Yokohama's and likes them.
