Tire blown....

welp went to my girlfriends this morning and thought i heard something...

well when i went to leave every rotation i would hear this god awful sound...went to check it out and this was sticking out of my right rear tire....



well the stock tires for this car are like 200 a pop and quite honestly they handle like ****...

so im thinkin im gonna go with Nitto Neo-Gens... i have driven a car with them before and they are decently priced (i can get them for 300 for the set) so if anyone knows of a better tire for less than 300 a set let me know....

also tire must me 215/45/vr17

Holy crap... what is that? When you mean a complete set do you mean for 4 tires or just two?

looks like a little bracket that goes on your calipers over the pads

but maybe not, can't quite remember what ours look like

ok well for a set of 4 Nittos for $300 sounds pretty unbeatable to me.
