Please let me know where I can get good tires for cheap...looking for 18's for the colbalt

 

wal-mart

 

to be honest they didnt have the size that is on my car now...its those stock pirrelli's...i wasnt looking for the pirrellis and they didnt even have the stock number.

 

Kumho @ tirerack.com or discounttire.com right around $100 a piece and a good tire.

hmm i will try there

 

BTW i have what they call a plus 1 size tire, 225/45-18 instead of 215/45-18. I lil bit wider but still works great.

Yea 215 are hard to find and more expensive then the 225. Thats pretty much why I went with the 225. Plus u get a lil bit more grip to the road. The hard part is going to get someone that will be willing to mount the tires for u. I went to 6 different tire shops before I found a place that would do it, and it was like $50 a tire to get them mounted.

yikes who did it for you?

 

A private tire shop. Everyone else was afraid of screwing up my rims... lol.

get them from lee he got me 225/45/18 kumho for 105 each no shipping and had them the next day and pep boys mounts them unde 100$

 

what ype of tire powerz

I wouldnt see why they wouldnt do it as long as they have your concent...i would be like...ok if this guy really wants to mess his rims up then fine. but the wideness i think wouldnt matter...its just watching out for the walls of the tires when your pressure gets low....but take care of your tires then you wouldnt have anything to worry about

nevermind my question i didnt think before i comprehended what i read it was Khumo thanks powerz

 

Definately go with the 225 45 18's ! They rock! I got some falken 329's from Rob when he worked at discount tire. They come with a 30000 mile warrenty as well. They are an all season tire also.

 

i got nitto invos 225/45-18 for $552 out the door at discount tire direct.... these tires are sick man..

 

The kuhmo SPT's are good, great traction and handling. Just a few things. When it is cold out, until they warm up, no traction. Also prone to flatspotting in cold weather. Would not try them in the snow, no way for the tread to clear out. And last, only expect about 18-20k miles, and that is with no autocross and maybe 3 burnouts where I got on it too quick.

And blk, how the hell dod you get those for that price? I just looked, and in that size its 720 just for the tires?

 

lol i got no idea just bought them about 3 weeks ago... called them up and they said they were 5% off and i told them the price online was $143.. so i think they took like %5 off that.. i think i lucked out


btw someone might wanna move this to the wheels and tires section

 

Damn you blk. Waiting on the gov. to give me my money back so i can get a new set of tread. Yes, I have worn out the SPTs (18k miles only 5-600 away) in 10 months just driving to work and back.

Needless to say, I am looking for some that will last longer.

 

what is the warranty of the khumos spt?

 

Probably none...

 

225/45/18 kumho spt have 17,000 on mine and stll half tread

 

DAYUM, I paid 35 for both mounted. I got the kuhmo ecsta spt's (225/40/r18), 90 bucks a piece. 201 bucks to my front door.

...

I have the kuhmo warranty book in my hands.

first 2/32 of tire (keep in mind your tire only has about 10/32) is completely covered, free of charge. After that, they give you a percentage of credit towards a new tire through a formula they have there in the book. Thats all over a period of 6 years.

 

My bad, I meant milage.

 

the spt's SUCK ASS i wouldn't buy another set of them if they were $50/tire they are slick as **** and wear down fast. i wouldn't put those things back on a go cart. also have a set of the kumho ast's on my supra, did a 500+ foot long burnout on them the day i got em, and it took off about 1/2 the tread.... so much for a 400 treadware rating. they suck too, but i needed a cheap set fast so i went with them.

 

hey campo can u put up a pic of ur 225 40's on here? i wanna see what they look like cuz im gonna be picking up some nitto neo gens in the next couple of days, i wanna see if its really that much smaller than the 215 45's.. **** the price diff. between 225 40s and 225 45s is almost 30 bucks each

 

235 40s ftw
