You can try Vredesteins. I've heard nothing but good things about them.

True, but they're the same price as every other top brand tire out there. I want something that's going to last more than 15k miles.

I bought khumos, which were relatively cheap, prior to my vredesteins and the khumos were about 25% more than the vredesteins. I am not sure what you are considering for tires, nor what you consider "top brand", but the vredesteins I bought were considerably less than anything else I was looking at.

I paid 748 shipped for

What brands are you looking at... and what price are you willing to pay?

I'd like them for free...

Looking at those Falkens, Vredestein, Goodyear, etc. I don't want to pay more than $150 or so on each tire.

O and when i buy tires i built it to have 18" wide tires[/QUOTE I've always been the 350/4bolt main guy myself the Z caught my eye so import it was.The porsche has a built 200r4 with a 9' ford rear 2 and 468 gearing.The rear tires were a big problem had to return my custom rear rims in twice for backspacing. (15/10w/7 7/8 backing) Since the 9'' was shortend I already had my gas tank(fuel cell) dropped and a new complete floor so tubing it was out the question. Some how I was able to with the help of backspacing to fit the Mickey Thompson ET street radials 275/50/15 11' tire with a tread width of 10.5' I could possibly squeeze 315/325 anything bigger and I would have to cut the Rfenders and I won't do that.I have seen a lot of built trucks they run hard down the track. Just have to figure out the weight thing.I wish I could run 18's.

Are those considered getaway cars?
