The size and offset aren't the best - I'd need to use spacers and they'd be a little narrow for 275 tires. Got any idea of the weight of one of those?

I only plan on replacing the front 2 tires. The cheapest ones I'm finding are:
Falken Ziex ZE-912 $125.00
Falken FK 452 $138.00
Goodyear Eagle GT $139.00
Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 $140.00
Continental ContiExtremeContact DWS $142.00
Opinions? Feel free to chime in.

ill never buy nankang again.
i think i didnt have enough air in my tire is the reason it blew out. so ill be checking my air pressure weekly from now on. but once these tires are shot ill be getting alot better tires.
im possibly thinking about getting some rear camber arms and trying to get rid of the negative camber think that might have a problem with why it blew out also. ****kkkkkkk mannn

You said it, but Nankangs are actually decent for the price.

I wouldn't blame the tire. Most likely it was low on air, rolled on the sidewall and the rim could cut it.
Those steering bump stops are what stops your steering wheel from turning. Once you shorten them you are able to gain more steering angle. Which is better for drifting.

Is that much steering angle gained just by cutting those or did you add tie rods or w.e as well?
