FUseaKU Got Some New Shoes!

[fuseaku]

Well, I finally decided that today was the day to get new tires. Mostly because there was about 0% tread left on the rear and not much more up front. So I called my buddy up that works at a tire shop in the flea market here and he gave me the deal of a lifetime!! :rock:

I got a set of 4 Bridgestone Turanza EL42 RFT 245/50/R18 for the lovely price of $425 mounted and balanced!!!! I looked up how much they would normally cost and they should've been around $1,200. They are runflats too, so that's pretty cool... the only thing I don't like about them is the tread pattern, but hell, for the price I got I really don't care. :driver:

Here's what they look like...

sweet..
noone here seems to like the stock tires on their xrunners.. but my buddy, who is a tire guy, swears by em.
ya, don't really dig the pattern on ur new shoes either, but like u said, smokin deal..

Looks good Derek.

nice deal.

i got toyo proxies from 110 each.... but hey 425 is a pretty good deal

That's a sweet deal!

Just so you know, they are about 5/8" taller than the stock tires.
At 60 MPH your speedo will read 58.6 MPH
Speedometer Difference: 2.259% too slow
Diameter Difference: 2.21%
