Default Just Dropped $2k, cant wait till next week.

My tires are pretty much at their core (24K miles) and I have chrome rims, I thought it was time for a change so after contemplating which rims and tires to go with and after reading what fellow CL members were saying, I finally decided to go with:

18 Staggered G-Spider rims (I think they look better than the ISP and wanted to keep a stock look)
New Pilot Sport PS 2 tires (225/40/18 and 255/40/18)
Hotchiks sway bars.

I have never had PS2 tires, but all i hear is positive feedback from them and with the help of the swaybars, I'm hopping I can great reduce body roll and have a more spirited driving experience.

Now I have to play the waiting game on shipping and installation.

Cant Wait

GO CHARGERS!!!!

I had Pilot Sport PS 2 on my G35 and I loved them. I could drive on wet roads like they were dry. And on dry roads . . . man I could do some crazy driving without ever worring about grip. Loved them. But they sure did cost $$$. I had 275/30/19 and 245/35/19

I'm sure you will move those tires.

Mitchies are great - I drove almost 60k on a set of 5 tires before. I just kept doing a 5 tire rotation.....ahh the good old days of Lexus when they gave you a full size spare.
