stay away from nexen....if you are looking for a great price for a really nice tire....you cant go wrong with nankang....

[samrozzi]

well can you go here
http://www.wheelfire.com/scontent/Ti...k&wheelsize=17

theirs a few listed, such as hankook, kumho, nittoneo gen and then falken. I know falken is prob one of the ebtter brands but they are ALOT more. is it even noticable? just want them to last, im not gonna race or anything

[samrozzi]

well i wanted to get the wheels and tires from the same place for convenience.

[BIG RICH]

i ran hankook on my truck for three years and over 40k miles....they were 285 35 22s

[samrozzi]

well looking at these hankooks then

?

what do you think?

and wheelfire sells like road tire insurance for 80$ to cover all the tires if damaged or cannot hold pressure will be replaced for up to 2 years.

is that worth it?

[BIG RICH]

roadhazard isnt worth it....especially internet roadhazard warranties....lol

[samrozzi]

ok well here is what im looking at for everything


i just wanna make sure I have everything i need, because im getting it shipped to a local car shop and they will put on the wheels for me for 15$ and I wanna have all the parts needed so once they arrive I just head over and they put them on,

im not sure if I need the wheel locks?

and anyone know if wheelfire mounts and balances the tires onto the wheels so when they arrive they are already assembled? on the image it says wheelfire wheel installation kit? not sure what that is

[BIG RICH]

that seems like an awfully high price for the tires.....

are you planning on lowering thre car? is it already lowered?

if so, 215 45 17 is too big....you should get 205 40 17 but atleast no larger than 215 40 17.

[samrozzi]

well my car isnt lowered yet. I plan on lowering it jsut to get rid of the wheel gap. I dont want it so low that when I hit a speedbump I scrape the bottom of my car.

and really? I keep reading and hearing go with 215 45 since more smooth and last longer

[FALKEN]

moved.

[samrozzi]

So are the hankooks fine? And is 215 45 fine?

[BIG RICH]

hankooks are actually pretty good tires....the price you are paying for them seems high.

215 45 17 is ok if not lowering....if lowering you need a 205 40 17

Look into Bridgestone they have alot of different tires for decent prices.
