Default I think I need new front tires.

The Penny Test consists of placing the coin upside down in a tire’s tread grooves. If the top of Lincoln's hair is visible, it indicates that the tread has worn to less than 2/32 of an inch (1.6mm).

lmfao! Been there, done that.

Looks like you need an alignment too while you're at it.

500. Warranty of 45,000 miles.

They weren't cheap.. when I got them i think they were a little over $300 a tire. Just looked at the price and now its $240 a tire. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S plus, won't get them again ONLY because I don't need all-season tires anymore I'll just get summer tires after this pair finally dies out

Lol, P. I've been there!

Right before I got rid of my '01 Stang, my tires were horrible and I about drifted around every turn in the rain. I felt like an unintentional ricer. hehe.

Dude, your gona die. If someone spits onto the road and you hit it, your gone.

+1 for the Sumi HTR Z IIIs though, they just don't like to get too hot, good on everything else.

Looks to me like you need an aligment and CC plates if you don't have them already to go with the new tires.

Damn Kevin, you definitely need an alignment. How many miles do those tires have on them anyway?

Anybody got pics of 255s on a 17x9? Does it look goofy? It'll be $255 shipped for 2 255/40/17 HTRZ-IIIs /w road hazard, or $277 shipped for 275/40/17s with road hazard. I have $214. lol

Damn get some new tires, check the PSI and get an algimeant, it's not that expensive.

Off topic kind of.
Are Toyo Proxes 4 good?
