I've got two used tires that I don't use. I've been wanting to put them up for sale but I'm too lazy. They're some cheap tires that I bought while I got some good ones.

hey EZ I just did mine on the Z a day ago, if I can be of assistance LMK, make sure to get those rotors turned or they could possibly warp and cause more vibration in your steering wheel than in a lonely sorrority girl's bedroom on a friday night.

if i'm not mistaken changing final drives changes acceleration through each gear? the shorter the gear obviously the faster you accelerate with the loss of top speed, and the longer the gear the higher speed you can reach in each gear but it takes a bit longer to get through them? (someone plz correct me if I'm wrong)

New final drive gear set, or just rear end gears. The stock FD on our cars is 3.3. I want to upgrade to a 4.08.

Shorter gears are good for those with higher rev limits and for N/A applications.

Thank you for correcting me. The thread I was reading didn't specify if it was an auto or not.
THis would be a great mod for anybody with an HR that plans on staying n/a

[QUOTE=3hree5ive0ero;8070393]What are the sizes, tread depth, brand, and condition?QUOTE]
they're 245/45/R18, they're called Nankang, I'll have to go look at the tread but it has plenty left. They're kind of worn out on one side of the tire because I didn't get the car aligned when I bought them.

No, on a 5AT, going from 3.3 FD stock to 3.9/4.0 gears will be much more dramatic than 6MTs swapping from 3.5 FD. You'll get a dramatic increase in acceleration, excellent for drag racing. 
One downside is that you'll be sitting at higher RPMs when cruising in every gear, which means your MPG may suffer a tad bit.
