a car that powerful....hell even if it wasn't that powerful.....ditch 'em. a blowout at 35/45 is bad enough.......and I'm guessing you gonna be going a tad faster than that most times.... |
Yea they've been replaced with Nitto Invo tires. 245 front and 275 back. I wasn't going to chance it so I went in the day after and had it done. Definitely not worth it to risk it!
And the guys at the tire place gave me a road when he said I can "test" the car as it rarely has cops.
