I'm getting new tires on my '14 this weekend as I'm getting tired of my nice “vibrating” car. I would like a really good pair of tires that stick but will last (hopefully those two criteria aren't mutually exclusive).
Also, since I will not be AX-ing my new tires, I will also be in the market for a new set of rims which I will also need tires for. If I remember correctly, the sizes I need (rims) are 16x7 and 16x8. However, I don’t know the offset. Maybe SirAndy can help me out on that. I would really like another set of what I already have (Fukes-sp.) but am not sure my budget will support those. If anyone has some rims for sale that are affordable, I’m open to options… (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

the tire was supposed to be inspected, but got tossed by accident by the body shop.......not that big of deal since insurance paid for everything (to the tune of over $17K, new factory fenders, new facotry hood, etc, etc....) my wife and I walked away with no injuries so no need to take it to court...she was driving, I had a few too many of these that night (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer3.gif) i have heard of other people running the Kumho 712s having the same type of tire failure, basicly the sidewall of these tires are so stiff that it is difficult to tell if you have a flat tire until it is too late......... |
