Well after that didn't get far when starts hearing this really rough, bumpy sound at the front, not to mention steering started convulsing violently. So instantly hazard lights go on and had to manoeuvre across 3 lanes to find a side street to pull over. At least the gf got a free demonstation of how to put on a spare.

Next morning goes to only tyre place open on a sunday, BJ T-mart. Forks out 149 for a pair of Maxxis. Maybe should've shopped around first for something better for value? What do your kittys roll on and how much did you pay?
Yeeeouch dude! I remember hitting a pothole really hard in my last car, and I didn't notice anything weird til I pulled up at a set of lights and my driverside mirror was hanging off the car!

As for tyres, I've got Dunlop Direzza D-101's, price I dunno, but they came packaged with my 19's.
Opinion? These crap all over the previous Yokohama's and Nexen's I used on the car (Nexen's are a no brainer I suppose), getting far more wear and these are a lot quieter than the Yokohama's I originally had on my 17's.
