[Vince77]

Yeah no kidding, I almost need tires on my 07.
That sucks, good nothing bad happened tho.

Hey, your in San Jo, you make it to any meets or what?

 

[rpmspeedyblue]

I know:smile: I kinda was pushing it a little but the one that blew up looked good(31k on them). I'm getting some eagle f1 tomorrow.

Thanx, No I work weekends but I would like to one of these days

 

[Vince77]

I'm about to end my stockers in a smokey cloud soon. I think I'm at 28k now, stilll have a lil tread left, but I have a set of tires already.

 

[rpmspeedyblue]

That was smart getting tires before hand :rock:

 

[Vince77]

Came across a good deal on ebay I couln't pass up.

 

[rpmspeedyblue]

did you get BFG KDWII on ebay for $500 for a set of 4?

just do it

 

[hiflyer]

any reason why Discounttires has them listed as:
255/45R-18 99Y BSW

But on ebay it's 99 W?

thanks

thats awesome that u have an 05 with ur original set of tires.. i have an 07 with 28,7XX and im 3/4 of the way through my 3rd set of tires.. needless to say, i drive a lot harder than u do.. i would take that tire/wheel to firestone and see what they say about this happening. i've gotten 3 free tires through the crack warranty and i have an 07, imagine what they'll do for some tires in the actual date range..

good luck :top:

oh, get KDWII's, not F1's. much better ratings and we drive toyota's, not GM's.. F1's were originally produced just for the Vette's as a factory tire.

 

[Troskey]

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit michael...i might have to jump on those KDW II's for 500...

aaaaaaaaaaand btw i still have my stockers on my 06.. about to roll over 33k w00t w00t!

but i need some new tires now.. they broke loose in 1st gear during normal driving(my normal driving is nowhere near as hardcore as i've seen some people drive)

Thank the stars nothing happend to ya. :biggrin:

 

[T0LLPHR33]

rpmspeedyblue: thank goodness you didn't get hurt bro...I hope you can get everything fixed in a timely manner...:dontknow: good luck bro...hopefully this never happens to you again

 

[hrspwr236]

lost my stockers at 23k, would love to see those tires on

 

[rpmspeedyblue]

Thanks guys. I have to admit that when the tire blew I didn't swerve all over the place and the rim was still in good shape. I ended up going with the eagle f1. I couldn't wait. I'm to chicken to drive with the stockers after having a blow out.

30,890 MILES ON THE STOCK TIRES BEFORE IT BLEW OF THE RIM AT 80 MPH ON THE TURNPIKE. STILL HAD ABOUT 1/32 OF TREAD ON IT. THE SIDE WALLS ARE STILL ON THE RIM. WILL POST THE PICTURES LATER. MADE MY HOLE PUCKER IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.:laugh:

WOW! GixX-Runner had about 30k miles on his bridgestones before it blew. I had 31k. I'm wondering how many had similar blow outs.:ahhhhh: Glad I got some new tires on now!!!!

 

[sonic555u]

Mines shows the metal wires on the inside tire for some reason Im just broke so Im still running my tires till the blow up.

 

[Hi_On_X]

Glad you didn't get hurt or get into any accident.....

just do it

the KDW's are no longer being sold through that person on ebay. Says sale has ended

 

[rpmspeedyblue]

I ended up getting the Goodyear F1 for $216 per tire. I bought five and it came out to be $1,400. I know I should of went with the KDW2 but when you wait until the last minute you pay. I didn't want to have another blow out on the highway. pretty scary thing especially commute time when everyone is in a hurry to get to work. I'm really impressed with the handling so far. 100 % better than the OEM. I thought the bridgestones were pretty good but so far these seem very good. I will see how well they perform in the wet weather.
