help finding tires...
yea another thread about me needing something
but arent the forums made for this reason
well never noticed how bad my camber was untill adrian pointed it out saturday while installing my headlamps, and well decided to go to Discount Tire to see if they can switch the fronts. they wouldnt because one of tires is real bad. so got an estimate on 4 tires with the specs in my sig, $1120. and that sucks lol, thinkin about going with a diff company than Toyo, so if any has any recommendations or brands or places that sell tires, please let me know. i can probably get away with just 2 fronts for now, and that will run around 350-450. thanks again guys

you could try ordering online - http://www.edgeracing.com/
just make sure you check prices for install before you buy so you dont get raped.
or check with dan (sflg35) - he might have something cheap.
i go to tk performance usually but they are still about $250/tire.

thanks all, yea if its not a big problem please shoot me some estimates
you guys are great help out SFL too lol.
^ as you can see my camber is off enough to completely bald the interior side of my tires
sucks that i never realized it, gatta get that TK performance alignment package that i heard about. yea adrian the guy i talked to today at Discount tire quoted me 1120 with the discount for Toyo T1Rs...real steep, but i guess you get what you pay for.
thanks again guys, always willing to help a fellow g memeber in need

^ The front camber isn't adjustable, so no alignment package is going to cure your tire wear issue without a camber kit up front. You might as well get the rear camber kit too (it's a lot less expensive) since your rear tires are probably doing the same thing. If you stay away from the ultra expensive Stillen camber kits, in the long run, a camber kit will be less expensive than buying tires more frequently than normal because the insides wore out.
BFG KDW2's are about the least expensive tire that carries those sizes. Otherwise you can go with Shermie's slightly wider and taller 295/30/20 in the rear.

Anyway, they can get anything you want, but certainly, certain tires are cheaper than others, and those on hand are cheaper then custom ordered stuff. I have run Nittos and they are always solid. I have also had Maxxis and Cooper in the past. I am currently running Goodyear run-flats on the back (Corvettes changed, so we got them for a DEEP discount) and Michelin on the front (very pricey, but very good).
I am pretty sure that you can get Nittos for under $1100 installed. Just call him and tell him Cass told you to call...
