Where should I purchase tires?
I think its about time I need new tires.. I think I found a bubble on both the front and rear of the drivers side.. I have no idea how that got there, maybe because the car has been sitting in the garage for 4 months?? Wheres the best place I can purchase them? I have 162's with the ugly Bridgestone Potanzas.. Thinking about getting some Michelin Pilot Sport 2 or some Falkens... Thoughts?

i got my tires from discount tires ebay store. They have free shipping and you can do MS Cashback on buy it now ebay items.
http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Discount...__W0QQ_armrsZ1 Cashback is 8% right now through live.com. I got my 452's w/25% cash back, it was about $650 for all 4.

Mind you, the UHPs are lightyears better than RFTs - I have no regrets but my next DD tire will be PS2s if that is any indication going forward. |

btw, do you guys know how long it will take to receive shipment from tirerack.com? And if its ok if I drive the car with the bubble in the rear tire? Its not a huge one.. I'm guessing it'll be alright as long as I keep it under 100mph

just browse through ebay before you give it a go on any vendor online. i found my set of brand new dunlop 285s for less than $300 on eBay. $340 for the set of dunlop. I went down to local discount tire store, one of them cost more than what i got it for...
