need to replace my front tires, any comments?

Hi guys, im new to the forum to discussion questions about my tires.
my G is 2005 coupe lowered, front tires with 225/40/19, and rear are 245/40/19.
i need to replace my tires, any suggestion? either online or shops...

i lowered my car, should i raise it back up, any suggestion? (good things and bad things)
does anyone know how much does it cost?

also my co-worker told me that i need to do alignment my for G, do i have to get the amber kit to do the alignment? if not, would the store do it for me?

thank you!!

I'm not really sure what you are looking for.
As far as tires, check out Tire rack and Discount tires, they both have good prices. Discount tires will match advertised prices as well.

Why would you raise the car back up?
Cost?????? Anywhere from $50 on up.

How does your co-worker know that you need an alignment?

Would the store do what for you? Align the car or install the camber kit?

Depending on how low you are, they might be able to get your alignment into spec or close to without an camber kit.

You need to provide more info and be more specific.

Oh and welcome the site. It's a great place to learn about our cars.

Thats your preference...... and how much effort you put out to find deals, unless you dont care, which reverts back to preference

Why raise it back up? something wrong with your setup? If youre thinking about the goods and bads, what were the goods and bads of you contemplating to lower your car? itll simply be reverse of that effect and your preference

As much as you lowered it

Rear camber arms and toe bolts will definitely help the alignment and how far your want to straighten back up. Again, this is by preference. Many others dont care to straighten back up and purposely driver cambered in order to fit certain dimension of wheels and ride height.

Revert back to my first answer
