    Red face Finally ordered new tires

    After a long time of trying to figure out what I was going to replace my 10 year old tires with, I have decided.

    Nitto 555 255/45/18 are now on order.
    Not my 1st choice, but one of the best choices that fit the wheels I run.

    Unhappy Can't get the wheels I wanted with the tires

    They had to cancel my order.
    I wondered why they were the only company that still had those wheels on their website.
    I guess I will need to think this over some more.

    Red face Found another wheel supplier

    In stock and I ordered them a few hours ago.
    They already have given me a FedEx tracking number!!!
    I hope they actually arrive and are what I ordered.
    Still have to order tires from somebody else.
    I may get Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position instead.

    Nice Jim! I'll want to hear what you think of them once they're on.  I just decided to re-up with the Nitto NT-05s for my rears.  275/40/17. Can't wait to see what you got for wheels!

    Red face Rims are here

    Now I have to wait for the tires.
    I chose the Bridgestone Potenza S-04.
    They should be installed next week.

    Smile Wheels and Tires are on my Car

    I can feel the Potenzas are stickier and the chrome wheels are brighter.

    I guess so, but it was a lot cheaper than buying wheels,tires and a car (which is what I had been doing every other year).
