Hey Jim,

What tire size should I go with? How's 255/45/17F and 295/40/17R? Or should I just go with stock sizing?

well I comprismised. I still miss my Sentra too much to drop it... as for tires absolutely the BFG KDW2s. Either those or Yokohama AVS ES 100s...Great wet and dry traction ratings.

I am partial to to S2000s in that lineup ... and I really dont even like S2000s

I also like the multispoke iforged/hre on the pearl G ... I almost got those HREs in charcoal for my car.

I dont need new tires yet, as you know, I drive like a grandma on most occasions ... so I think I can get about 20k out of these toyos .... I am right at 14k right now and going strong(after only 6 months).....I put too many miles on this damn car

I so badly need a daily driven beater ... someone find me a nice reliable hatch something or other

rob ... who was that girl that was out a few weeks ago .. she said she had a car for sale ... tell her im interested

not tryin to stiff ya, but my divorce has been costing me more cheese than i expected. i'm strapped. i would like to have it but i cant put a time frame on when i would be able to get it. dont hold it for me, if you have someone that you can sell it to then sell it and get your money.
