Default Purchased 4 new tires today....

My baby is gettin a new pair of shoes! Her soles now are worn to slicks..

So i picked up 4 Ecsta 4X HP tires. Did my research and within my budget these got very good review no matter what car they go on.

Not sure if anyone here uses them but ill let you all know how they grip and wear.

$408.00 - $50.00 mail in rebate at tirebuyer.com with free shipping. Couldnt find a better deal anywhere.

As i said,im on a budget. I know its a gamble but its all i can afford. And i cant wait,the tires on the car are worn out all the way around..

I dont drive my S too hard. Im willing to give them a test drive and see how they do. If i didnt have to replace the clutch id have $900.00 to spend and would have gotten a much better tire.

You can get some Hankook v12 evos for about what you payed for in 205/225. Much better tire.

people, tread wear numbers are not standardized across the industry. a 400 tread wear yokohama might be softer than a 300 bridgestone.
