Angry Wow, I just OWNED myself...

I just put myself $500 in debt. I've been trying to save for a freaking set of rear tires forever now but the only time I ever get to buy something is when I sell something in my room. Gas keeps going up and I drive alot, bought the car with 73K on her in July and I'm just now creeping up on 92K.

I ordered a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 DS-G3's for about $252.75 a piece and then they have to be mounted. I'm definitely not going to loose my car in a crash because of some ****ty Nittos...

I won't be modding for a while

tell me about it, I just made 90 bucks in Buy backs, and paid a 60 dollar debt the bank charged me... then I find out my dad handled my light work with the bank and they took away the charge!... GIGGITY

so now I gotta start calculatin how much things are guna cost me here in the future so I know how much I need and how much free spending money i got... lol car mods HERE I COME!...(nothing big though...)

Good Luck on the Debt!.. why didn't u try and find a cheaper tire? or was the 250 all together?

I could of got Sumitomo's but I always go buy the saying "You get what you pay for."

I'm plus I'm not with the radial thing anymore. After these guy on and are paid off and I'll put my rear-end in and get some telstars with slicks. I'll be launching better than any radial...

Because with those Goodyears you set it and forget it, while getting one of, if not THE, best tires on the market today. I cant say the same about my sumitomos...

I actually want these to last a while and be decent some nasty weather excluding snow and ****. I won't be driving around with slicks on unless I'm at the track so these have to last a while unlike the Nitto's.

Tire prices always amaze me. Back when I was racing Late Models and Modifieds, I would have to spend $135-$150 PER TIRE for 4 EVERY WEEK
Thats, $540.00-$600.00 every week for about 22 weeks. Then, I would go to the tire store with my Suburban and he would tell me that 4 tires, mounted, balanced and everything for like $575.00 and I would have a cow. This was for tires that would last me maybe two years. Go figure.
Glad I have a car now that requires tires that are over $200 a piece. :wallbash:
