Looking for tires.
It's time for tires on the SS. I'm at 17,500 miles now. Choices seem to be limited still. What I want is either the Nitto Invo, Toyo Proxes 4 or the factory Pirellis. I can get the Pirellis for less about $195 each and the the Toyos for $176 each. I haven't been able to find the Invos yet to price them.
Anyone know where to find them in DFW? |

Dude, I have 12k and freaking hope I have to buy new tires at 17.5. Are you lighting those puppies up at every light?

Nope. I haven't lit my tires up once. They were at about 5/32nds on the rear before my trip to Vegas and I put 2600 miles on them during that trip. I usually like to buy tires when they get around 4/32nds. I can probably make them last until 20k.

I just rolled past 16k and looking to do the same. I haven't really started the hunt for tires yet, but it will be happening soon. Will be keeping an eye on this, if I come up with anything will let you know as well.

Hi, I have 25,000 on my originals, and thought they might last a bit longer. So, how exactly do you measure the 32/nds on them, or do I need to go to a tire place for the measurement. I didn't want to do that because I figure they will automatically tell me I need tires.
I have heard a commercial about using the head on a penny. I will go try that and see if I can see the head. Anyway, please keep your posts up regarding the tires you get prices on, and what you go with. Good luck!!!

Tread depth of the stock tire is 10/32nds when new. So, I'm at about 40% tread left at 4/32nds. State Inspection requires 3/32nds I believe. |

I have 19,500 on mine so far they look great, against the penny head test.
No burnouts just daily driving.
