Flat Tire...

I don't know exactly when this shyt happened(I guess somewhere between the grocery store and his house,but that's pretty damn far and I didn't even realize it ), but when I got to my cousins house today I noticed that I had a flat. I'm so damn pissed. Now I have to find out how exspensive 2 michelin tires are gonna run me 2morrow at NTB .

damn that sucks sorry to hear that. you dont HAVE to get michelins, since they are expensive there are many other choices. but it is always good to stay w/ oem or upgrade.

Yep, thats what happens when you let Lek sit in your car. Shyt happens.
Leks weight isnt made to support the OEM, everything has to be reinforced twice....LMAO!!!

But seriously though, I am sorry that happened. You dont have to get expensive tires. I bought some UHP but they are 'W' rated and they have 400 treadware on them. They are summer tires, but they have light snow capability. You dont have to get michelins, or any expensive brand, just check out quality instead of namebrand.

aww sorry to hear about your flat jason...always a bitch in the sidewall since they cant patch it up....i wouldnt get an expensive brand either, especially if you were/are planning to get some wheels too!! Take the opportunity and get some decent/average all seasons so you got a nice all season setup.

Ya I noticed your whip as well....it was a fun drive. The guy in the Z is my boy Farshid aka Tony. If you ever want to get into Dream aka Love or Home he's the man. He's not into performance but he's all about looks. He's put about 40-50k into his Z. Did you see the TV's in his bumper facing outside??? lool, some pimp my ride ****...he has more than 19 monitors in his car including a 26'' LCD in the trunk...his whip is siiick.

wheels were maido 20'' chromes and he has a 14'' front/rear wilwood that set him back about 6k. all in all he's one crazy ****!! i got some pics of his car at this huge persian picnic we were all at. I'll post em up later....

It is illegal to have more than 3 persians in one area at one time. GWB.

It's in the rear LEK, the spear tire makes the car look SO DAMN GAY, I didn't even want to drive anywhere until I got the tire fixed.
[side note]{And y in my mothers X-type her spare is the same size as her factory tire, but our spare tire is so small and narrow Well...that's ford 4 U LOL}


But DAMN if I knew that tires were gonna cost me that much I wouldn't have gotten a G 35......SIKE!!!
but I'm back in the game just got 2 new tires early this morning.

I didn't even pay attention to how much of a difference there is between the front & rear tires until the dude told me it's 225 in the front & 245 in the rear, I wonder what size tires I will need when I purchase the R5s in 19x9F & 19x10.5R
