Hey guys i have been looking for a few weeks for tires now. I found so amazing deals on Discount Tire Direct's eBay page. I found a set of Hankook's

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-NEW-255-45-17-Hankook-Sport-K104-Tires-45R17-R17-45R_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp4634Q2em351Q2el1262QQhashZitem360147956156QQitemZ360147956156QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

161 with free shipping. 255/45/17



Then i am thinking a set of 275/40/17 for the rear. Which ones do you think?

Maybe even possibly some 265/40/17 for the rear so I'm not stretching it to much.

American Muscle... I've got Sumitomo's with free shipping at a better price 275 at $112. and 255 are $105. and basically the same tread ! I'm going from experience just had them sent 2 weeks back and it took 4 days to my doorstep.

See they don't have a 255/45 i have run those on my old tri bars and the sidewall was just way to small for me.

Edited Sorry i'm tired been up since 4

Go to the website because I'm LOOKING right at that size as we type... its a 255/40/17 for $105

Sorry i meant to say See i don't like the 255/40 the sidewall is just too small for me. I would rather a 255/45 thats why i am looking at that.

 

[DSTRBD]

No problem... I thought I was losing my mind :tongue3: I just launched my tri bars with tires for $200. and they had 245's

Yeah i am going to keep the Tri bars and clean and paint them. Then throw some tires on there for the winter and sport those this winter since i will be in Norfolk. I think that would be better then Messing up the 01 Cobra's i just got

 

[DSTRBD]

Yea... thats a great idea I've always got a couple extra sets around for the seasons but mostly rain here on Seattle !

So i ended up going to there website and looking and now they offer free shipping. at Discount Tire Direct. So i see a 255/45/17 Hankook Ventus K104. I can get 4 shipped to the door for 320 Not a bad deal for a pretty good tire.

I'm running a set of Riken "Raptors" in a 245/45-ZR17 w/ a "W" suffix. Ran just over $100 ea. 300 treadwear rating. Very smooth, tight handling tire.
I was suprised to learn that Michelin now owns Riken. Good tire for the buck.

I too ran the riken Raptors. I like them they had good traction and no sliding or hydroplaning issues. Worked well in the rain.
