Default Back in action!

As most of you know, I had an unfortunate incident where I wore my tires out in a burnout contest(and lost), this is teh result:



But today, I have these to put on. Michelin Pilot Sports, we'll see how they compare to the Pilot XGT Z4 tires. My guess is that they will be better, I also got some skinnies for the '93.

Total bill $840 for all four tires mounted balanced and old one's disposed. Not too shabby.

You were there, weren't you? Although, I don't know what state you were in at the time :D

Corky, they fit pretty well, maybe stick out 1/4 inch or so.

That is an amazing price! Especially when you consider you have the 315's on the back. When I got mine last May, the best quote I could get locally was $1300! I ended up getting them for $1100 due to the fact that they couldn't fill my order for the BFG's I had "settled" on. Let us know how you like them. :cheers:
