So. We have some used tires here at work, some BF Goodrich ultra high performance ones that I can get for $200 for the set. They're 235/45/17, the perfect size for some 17x8 wheels that I want. But if I buy wheels, it'll set me back $600. That's a bit more than the value of a turbo rebuild, 3 angle valve job, head surfacing and cleaning. I think I've decided to just buy High Performance tires for my stock wheels, to last me through the summer. I've found these on Tire Rack: Now, normally, I would get Kumho Ecsta Supra 712s, but they don't have that tire in stock size. So, go ahead and get these tires and spend the wheel money on the engine? -Kaleb
I'm in the middle of a engine project. I've crossed the half way point and I want to be done by July. I also need new tires because 1.) They're old and worn down. 2.) They're like 4 years old and they're touring tires that suck ass (unless you're looking for a long-lasting touring tire, they're excellent Coopers).
