Do these not look like 20" chromed stockers? 6x115 20x8.5 40 offset

http://www.ebay.com/itm/191106134036

I guess ignore the bolt pattern in the image? The sale is for 6x115.

If the code is only good one time, get 3 friends to buy one of these for $363 after the coupon code:

$1452 vs $1752 for a set of 4 from a single auction:

IDK if there's restrictions this time but I bought my tires last time in pairs to get the discount twice.

OP, thanks for the heads up on the deal coming back. Last time, since you could only use the deal 3 times, I ended up with only 2 of a set of 4 new auto-x tires for my Subie. Time to order the other 2. Edit: Damn, they don't have my size listed. I'll have to keep an eye out to see if they add any more listings.

Yeah, those have been around for a while, and plenty of V owners have bought them for exactly that reason - stock style but in a 20" wheel. I haven't seen anyone post about those recently, I wasn't aware Vogue was still making them.

Never searched the forum for Vogue, but that was my 1st time seeing them. Would love to see how it looks, even though I just put on STS-V wheels.

And BAH! I can get 19" for my rears for $475 shipped, about $50 saved from TireRack, but the tax is killing it.

$33 18"
$44 19"

And the 18" in the size I want is $4 short of the discount for 2 tires. The cheapest thing they have beyond that is $12 . . . for an innertube! Ah, it works if I add anything. I did find a cool $30 first aid kit. Always useful.

After calling a couple of stores, I found a Discount Tire store manager who would match any internet price I could get and save me the hassle of hauling a bunch of tires around. He said this included eating the tax!

Told him I was looking for a reasonably priced, higher mileage warranty tire which leads me to the Nitto Motivo at $160 a tire and a 60,000 mile warranty. Thinking I'll get 30k out of those and then get the next set at half price.

He tried to talk me out of those saying they have a history of cupping once you get a few miles on them....Before I get blasted for putting a non performance based tire on the car, I commute 120 miles a day on the interstate and can't afford to chew up tires...just can't do it.

Anybody tried these?

If that's true buy the warranty with them. It should cover that issue right?

Probably would...I expect 400hp and positive traction will keep them from cupping though, just hoping someone had run these.

4 Nitto Motivos $609 out the door with a 60,000 mile warranty.

Reminder, it ends on the 20th (end of 19th or end of 20th?).

I just bought 4 new tires in 2 different transactions:
+ 343.83
+ 458.57
= 802.40

The tax was killer for Texans. :/ Still, that's about $50 more than I paid 2yrs ago for 18x4 & this time I'm 19x2 + 18x2.

I picked up 2 pairs of Continental DWSs to put on my winter wheels. Had to buy 2 sets of valve stems to bump the total for each pair from $388 to $400, so I could then get the $100 discount. So, not quite $200 off since I had to buy valve stems I don't need, but still a 22% discount - can't complain about that! I may have been better off buying performance snows, but I'm hoping I'll have my Subaru back in operation before the end of this century, in which case I won't need to drive the V in the snow.

AH ****! You reminded me, I didn't see any TPMS on their stuff for sale. I need a whole new set.

I realized I should've bought the woman's car some tires after I was bragging to her about the great deal I got on tires. I will have to do it now I guess.

Its always a good deal, now just need to get discount tire to stock more sizes like tire rack and offer more 265/40 options. I am going to try 255/45 next spring from this sale.
