They actually probably have more tread, I did a quick search and based it off what I saw online, they're fine lol.

I actually tried to burn through them in the beginning so I could buy performance tires (my mom bought me these for christmas).

Just got my new tires today

I need 2 new tires for the front any suggestions?

LamboW9

wat'd ya get?

I've tried a bunch along with my buddy, we were trying different brands every time we bought tires. My personal favorites are the BFG TA KDW2's. They are soft as hell so you will burn through em in about 8-10 months but very good wet/dry traction. My second recommendation is the Nitto NT555 Extreme tries. They are almost as good as the BFG's in terms of wet/dry traction and they last longer. muchh longer. My last recommendation would be the Cooper Zeon tires. They don't have anywhere near the wet traction of the BFG or Nitto's but they last forever on the rear and i'd say about 16months on the front.

Take this coming from someone who has tried, Dunlop, Nitto, Cooper, Pirelli, BF Goodrich. I know i'm missing one or two but thats what i remember. These are the more well known brands other than the continentals and falken. Hope it helped man.

oo yea, not to mention the BFG TA KDW's have the best tread pattern ever created

widowedeight

The last set of Zeons I had....... Lasted 7 months....... May I also add I have 81k on my Balt (getting the first clutch replaced right now) and I put that 81k on my car while not driving the first winter for 3 months (gm didn't make the rear rotors n brakes for my car yet, n needed a new pair after like 10k.... Or less) or the second summer for 4 months (re broke my leg I broke in the army) basically I drive a **** ton so if they are some of the best for wear then I'll stick with them cause I've been rocking them for about 3 years

i have hankook evo 12s love them excpet in the rain from a dead stop they suck but once rolling you can jump on it good an get a good amount of traction

yea we were going for wear which is why we were looking. Cooper Zeons lasted the longest i've ever had. I consider myself a spirited driver w/o many burnouts. Still got the Zeons on the back of my car. Had them goin on 3 or 4 yrs now. I tend to just change the fronts, it saves me money.

+1 on my second set but I went wider this time

widowedeight

I keep seeing people on this sight with black hid headlights any clue where they are from?

like these

widowedeight

How wide can we go on the stock wheel?? 245???


Sorry for all the questions but I've been out of all this for about a year

Those headlights are retrofitted. They are the stock headlight with the housings painted black and then were modded with a projector put in.

HID is just the type of light. The projectors use HID bulbs/lights. I have HID's in my completely stock headlights.

I have a set of black housings in my garage... just haven't swapped the lens yet, I don't really know how/I'm also lazy.

At most 245's yea and that's the guy from www.buyhids.com and <--- that's were you can get them or eBay

reduf99

that's how all my projects end not finished cause I'm lazy

iToastie

Lmao same here

I usually ask my friend (Volvo) to help me with stuff, he's a perfectionist about things so it stops me from half-assing stuff and not doing them completely

I just want new wheels dammit

widowedeight

So I'd have to make it not buy it? Maybe I'll just find one close if I can, and is there ny problem going with 245's? I have pretty much always rocked 225's and don't want to go too wide that it doesn't work and I eat the cost of two tires

LamboW9

iTrader: (3)

if you drive your car in the winter, as i do, i would suggest not going any wider. Remember the wider you go with the tire the harder it is to get traction in the winter. just a suggestion tho.

btw, i think DEPO makes those retrofits as well. I think you can select them with and without HIDS.

BuyHIDS.com sells the headlights retrofitted, they're really good quality too. Just hella expensive

reduf99

iTrader: (2)

Yep and more traction on the summer and I have 225's on now 215's on my winter set and 235's waiting to get put on a wider rim then the stock rims though

LamboW9

well anything that sells with GENUINE HIDS is going to be expensive. HID's as far as a bulb can be simulated like the bulbs you mentioned. a genuine HID consists of those ballasts behind the headlights.
