All kidding aside, I'm always amazed when people on the forum spend lots of money on aesthetic mods or performance mods that barely yeild any gains and certainly none that are significant, and cheap out and buy tires based solely on price or how well they stretch or have round shoulders to rub less on fenders because the car is too low. SMH. I get it. I used to buy cheap tires when I was young and ignorant. Because broke. But it's good that you learned. Premium rubber is one of the best performance increases you can make on almost any car and it requires no modification. It also makes the car safer to drive at the limit.

I was just tryin to get by. Yes I learned the hard way I was actually spending more money by buying cheap tires than if I had just saved and got a good set.
