This morning i woke up to some really good news! Its time for everyone to say goodbye to the chrome 20x8.5in tis dropstar wheels. Found a buyer for the wheels for $750. YAY!!

What this means is its time to shop for new tires. 245/35/20 for the fronts, and 275/30/30 for the rears!! M6 miro's are said to come in mid may so i have time to shop for some tires but anyone with a suggestion would help. Im not looking for the most expensive tire. Im looking for a quiet ride with a long tread life. I dont really drive aggressively so the worlds best performance tire isnt what i need. Im so excited i was running and jumping around my place like a school girl

What about General Exclaim UHP's I have them and they are great plus there made by Continental. I did a lot of research before getting tires and the generals were the best for the money and has very good reviews.

Price shop at TireRack ... if you decide to buy locally see if the store will match their advertised prices. Mine cost me less than $130 ea for 245/40-18s + S&H ... there was a sale + I picked up an extra 4% rebate.

If you decide to buy on line check out the link in my signature for additional rebates there and elsewhere!
