looking for tires
i am talking to discount tire about getting some new tires...i would prefer to go with something all-season like general gmax which most people on here have suggested
but the guy at discount tire is trying to talk me into getting Nitto tires mainly because they are not directional and he says it would help a lot being able to rotate left to right the general gmax say 45000 mile warranty and the nitto's have no milage warranty would it help that much to have tires i could rotate left to right or should i go with the general g-max which are directional |

NO, it won't help very much at all, if any.....I believe he is just PUSHING the Nitto's, Get the G-Max's.....yes I am one of the people that have them and I LOVE them.
and since you have an RS, which means your runnijng 20's, this also means that for you to be able to rotate yoyur tires at all, you will be needing to either buy another set of STOCK REAR wheels so you are running the same size tires front and back (which a LOT of us are doing, me included) OR you will be buying a complete set of new custom wheels with all of them the same size.

Did you buy your tires from Tire Rack?
Do you have any issues with the rear wheel/tire size in the front as far as fitment?

I actually got my tires at "THE OTHER PLACE" as the price was within $3 each of Tire Racks price, AND I was having the new tires mounted on all 4 of my new CHROMED OEM REARS, so it was a "one stop shopping" thing for me....I had ordered the wheels and it took my DT dealer 2 days to have the tires at his store, when they all arrived, I drove in.....and 1 1/2 hrs later I drove out with my new wheels/tires installed and I was set!

I just bought 2 new General G-MAX Tires from Tire Rack last week, I got them lightning fast and I'm REAL impressed with them. I highly recommend them

If you plan on getting the tires put on at a shop, see if they will price match first. I know Discount Tire will match Tire Rack and perhaps Onlinetires.com.
