Well its been a good few days, nexens are pretty good actually. They are quiet. I do pay for my stuff that I am doing for my car btw...all the mods and oem stuff im doing, all me, double din everything, you guys act like i asked him for a g35. I didn't get to choose, he got a good deal on it and jumped on it alright. Of course i am very grateful not like other kids who cry like omg why didnt you get me a ferrari blah blah. I still thank him to this day and I couldn't ask for a better car. He got it for me cuz it was AWD and decent in snow, i had a beamer which didnt do too good in the snow.

Yeah man dint jump down his throat.. At least his dad didn't buy him a brand new one.. He is in college and nowadays it's tough to do school and have a good enough car to get back and forth, that's one of the reasons I stopped going my car took a crap on me and I was broke..

^I have probably put on 10k since i installed my Falken FK452s and i am not near the wear bars yet, but they seem to have gotten extremely loud. Like my sisters fiance and my dad both say it sounds like my wheel bearings are going out.
Looking around, people seem to say loud tires are a sign of the tires soon to be needing to be replaced?

Most performance tires, especially wide ones, will get loud after 50% of their wear and will get progressively louder. If the tires become louder as you stop from 30mph to 0mph, your front tires are most likely exhibiting a bit of inner edge feathering. My 235/45R18 PZeros have gotten pretty loud. They're 70% worn, have a bit of feathering, and they get much louder when the temps are below 70 due to the rubber getting hard.

i had my g35x when i was 17 also, when the first 2004 model came out, i paid straight up 40k for it with taxes on the first day. damn... 5 years already. lol.
next time, get a job and pay for your own stuff if you're driving it everyday.
it's not fair for ur parents to pay for anything.![thewave](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/th_wave.gif)

As for parents paying for things, I've got no issue with it assuming the kid respects and understands the value of a dollar. My parents gave me their 86 Accord hatch back in 1989. I had one of the nicest cars in a school of 1200. My parents could afford it and they felt I was responsible enough. I played sports in school, work 15-19 hrs during the school week at a grocery store, did yard work on the side, worked about 30-40 hours/wk in the summer/school break, and maintained a high B average. I will expect the same from my son and daughter.
It's such BS when teens these days claim they can't work while being in school whether it be HS or college. Absolute BS. It's called time management and discipline. So many damn parents aren't involved in their kids lives anymore. They expect the system to raise their kids. Going off on tangent....will stop....

It's what happens to your tires after you run negative camber, they ware out on the inside edge that is sitting closest to the road.
Right?
And I agree with DaveB nobody is 17 years old with $40,000 cash unless they stopped going to school and worked full time and even then, you;re looking at 2-3 years to save....WORKING FULL TIME.
But daveB, you just showed your age man. Bitchin' about the youth and their work ethics hahaha
