im so glad i dont ahve to buy winter wheels/tires

 

why not get wheels on craigslist?

 

not sure what the correct backspacing is.. Im sure most of the craigslist sellers have no idea what backspacing is either.

 

haven't heard bad things about firestone and that is a great price.

 

Except for the factory tires on explorers the in the late 90s that blew up and caused a few deaths.. Other than that they are fine

 

I just picked up 4 msr rims with dunlop DS3's for $1400 cdn (for the STI)

 

Im just buying all seasonal tires and bringing back the steelies for the winter. Now i dont have to have those pressure sensors right? I will probley get a display light for it but it wouldnt hurt it correct?

 

no if you don't have the tpm sensors in your rims it won't effect any performance. all your gonna get is an annoying light on your dash until you put your stock rims back on with the sensors

 

yea thats what i thought.

 

Ford is recalling the explorers for a faulty suspension now.

The tire shop I worked at had more michellins come in with blow outs than any other tire about 3 to 1.
