I'm looking at these

http://www.treadepot.com/tire/15480520000

I trust GT and since I live in Michigan I need an all season tire. This is slightly wider than my stock 205 (which I have always hated) and has a decent performance and treadware rating and it's got a 55k mile warrenty

and at 62 bucks a tire they are almost disposable I just have to figure out what mounting, balancing, valve stems and tire disposal will run me at the places around me.

shipping is 60 bucks

They have a stupid name. Tread E Pot. Doesn't sound like a tire store to me.

Thats the way I feel too

If I was going to save like 50 bucks I would try a new place but for 1 dollar why bother

I absolutely HATED having 275's up front. They follow every single little groove in the road, no matter if it is a large groove or just a tiny little dip in the road, so annoying!

Did you do coil overs or something?

'Cause I'm running H&R Race Springs and Bilstein Shocks & it still did it like a mother f'er.
