today i went to drop off my wheels at the tire shop on my lunch hour cause they were supposed mount the tires onto my wheels and i would've left them there and came back to have them bolted onto my car on my lunch hour again. but when i went there today and they showed me my tires. they were the wrong size! LOL. the right model and brand but WRONG size LOL! ohwell. i wanted 215/45/17 and they got me 255/45/17...LOL. i wanted to get FALKEN FK-451 tires but they didn't have them in my size as you can see. but the guy called the dude at the warehouse and told him he sent the wrong size but right brand. and the guy told him that he didn't have any of the FALKEN FK-451 tires in the size of 215/45/17. and so then the warehouse guy told the shop guy that he ONLY had the FALKEN ziex ze-512 tires in that size that i want. and so the shop guy asked me if that was ok to get the ziex 512 tires instead of the FK-451's and i was like..."OK, THATS FINE" but i didn't say that it was fine for the hell of it. I ACTUALLY like the Ziex 512's. they were my first choice for the LONGEST of time already LOL!. maybe i was just destin to have the ziex 512's eh? ohwell, i REALLY like the 512's alot too anyways. so i'm cool. i just thought that it was funny how much i tried to avoid getting those tires and they STILL ended up in my hands any damn way....LOL. it's quite wierd. what do you guys think?. it's a simple sittuation but i thought it was funny. destiny i would say... I was shocked to see they had the wrong size and didn't even have the right size for me either. but i'm cool with it. no harm. now tomorrow i'll be riding on some FALKEN ziex 512 tires instead of some FALKEN FK-451's.

^your post had absolutely nothing to do with the thread topic what so ever
gearbox, did you ever get a chance to experiment the falken 512's yet? check with the tire calculator and compare the OEM size 185/65/15 vs 195/60/15...it doesnt alter the speedo much and you really have nothing to lose with a thick sidewall already on a 15" rim. i been running 195/60/15 for about a year and glad i went with this size.

Rep Power: 0 it had something to do with FALKEN Ziex 512's though. I guess i'ma user of Ziex 512 tires now. those tires are good anyways. there's a reason why alot of people in here and every other car forum has those 512 tires. great tire for the money.
