    I have 711's on my car right now, But I only paid $100 installed. And i never plan to do any serious racing with these tires, the wheels are too heavy. I'm jusst gonna get some 15's with some sticky tires when I'm not super broke anymore.

    i dont mind paying 1000 or more for a set of tires.
    i dont understand buying the cheap tires. makes no sense when you think about it.
    these are literally one of the most important purchases you make for cars
    otherwise youre 1 blowout away from hitting the median wall.

    it depends on the car, on my 5 series ive got- BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2
    in 18, granted tires are more $$ for me because i buy 5 at a time
    but i also always get 5 in a set of wheels
    full size matching spare =
    on my 2 3 series, ive got smaller t/as as 18s are too big for a 3 series daily driver
    and my z has some......kinda sticky tires

    i only run cheap tires for most of my daily because i end up tearing them up, i keep the good tires for long drives/mtn runs where i need the good stuff.

    Wish i could afford to throw on AO32's or AO48's as i needed them lol.

    the plan is to chop the top, but doubt ill leave it parked at the varsity for those thursdays meets,
    most likely just cruise thru and stop for a few minutes as i never go to the V anymore even tho its less than 5 minutes away, usually just go hang with the DDs

    GoodYear Assurance (215/55/r16) cost me damn near $500 for all 4. lol was going to get the Assurance Tripletred but they were out of stock at Kauffman. I think they are nice and have lasted me longer than my Toyo's and my GOodyear Pilots combined lol. PLus it has a 80k warranty, and I'm not going around 35 mph curves doing 65...well I am but I know what my car will and wont do.
