FInally gettin my tires mounted up!
So i ordered a pair of Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's for the rear about a month and a half ago and have been loving them. I didnt' have the cash for the front at the same time so i got cheaper kumho ecsta supra 712s. These are rated as a performance tire but when i took corners they had way too much slip. So i went back in and told Discount Tire i was dissatisfied and wanted the eagles up front as well. They are givin me full coverage on the current tires even with the mileage i put on em and just chargin me the original price difference between the two.
So either today or tomorrow i'm gonna be rollin with 4 245/45zr17 Goodyear Eagle f1s!!!
Ya that is almost 10in wide on all four corners! can't wait to get my springs |

Will the rears fit? And after lowering will you not have to roll the fenders?

Yea its the one on lakeway
no its not a free upgrade. They are just giving me the full credit on the other tires so i just have to pay 170 to get the front two now cause i already paid for the kumhos. My point was that i have put quite a few miles on these tires and they are still treating them like new (full credit)
I'm not sure about the rubbing i think i may have to roll the rear fenders. the fronts will be fine for sure but it depends on how stiff the springs are. i had 4 full grown guys in my car and i wasn't rubbin in the rear yet. i figure the new springs won't go lower than it was then so hopefully it'll work!!
But yea right now the rears fit fine. |
