$580 EACH FOR TYRES....ouch that's a lot

astra · 02-19-2007, 11:31 PM

uhmm, i got them from motorworks at waterloo

and they are 235/35/19 all round

vinno · 02-20-2007, 02:18 AM

Does that price wanna make you conserve your tires or test their full potential? hehe..

Chris.G · 02-20-2007, 02:39 AM

M3_GTR · 02-20-2007, 04:48 AM

astra · 02-20-2007, 05:04 AM

M3_GTR · 02-20-2007, 05:09 AM

^does it grip nice.? or you have abit of oversteer?

astra · 02-20-2007, 05:10 AM

funky_chilli · 02-20-2007, 11:09 PM
