Tire recs for 17x9 and DD.

12-22-2005, 01:07 PM

Hey ****ers.

So, i ordered dem rims, 17x9 in the front, 17x10.5 in the rear.

In another thread i mentioned i was quoted 700 for the tires. Yokohamas, 145 for the fronts, 155 for the rears, plus 100 for wrapping and balancing comes out to 700

somone said that was pretty high. Honestly, i thought it was decent.

What do you reccommend? know of anything cheaper that is just as good? are yokohama's any good?

Also, what tire size should i be looking for??

Hey. i also wanna see if i can get some with the white lettering on the outside. any opinions on that?
