Default Well My wife decided to....

Hit a curb with my car, blew out the Passenger tire.

I looked at discount Tire, and they don't carry The Sumo's HRT's I think is what they are. 275 40r17's????

Any help would be appriciated.

Yeah, tirerack has the 275/40/17's you need--$88

TomzWheels has them as well.

On another note, looks like they have the 315/40/17's back in stock.

Lol. I wish man. But my car is one of two, and she has to commute from Oak Harbor to Mt. Vernon were she works. I have to have the truck in order to pick my kids up from day care. It sucks but thats what I have to do.

Its funny though, if she doesn't need the car, and she asks if she could take it to the store or something, I usually tell her flat out no. Then she gets all bent out of shape. lol. Kinda amusing. but sometimes deadly. She likes the car more than me. And she is always telling me how old men want to race her. She usually justs laughs at them, and goes about her buisness (Being a Snobby Bitch!!!)<<<<j/k

if you have to order them anyways,

Discount can get them (and they will still beat anyone elses prices including shipping and instilation)

that's where Ellis' sumo's came from

Lol. Yeah I've been thinking that.

But on a good note. I will more than likely be transferring to an actual Sea Going command, I am in the middle of a duty swap, so I will more than likely be going on a cruise in May of this year. Yeah Sea duty pay is maxed out, and Seperation Pay is looking pretty good as well.

So if this stays true, then I won't have any problems hangin with you, cause when I return, I will have a little more cubes than just 347.....

Where you trying to go, Everett or Bremerton? Or are you trying to go with one of the VAQ's?

OTOH, you do know what a small cube S480 is capable of correct? Here is a clip of a monte that is about 300 lbs more than my car http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XcLfWh4uHo

And yes I am going forged when I get back

I had Sumitomo's on my TA as well and always got them from Tire Rack.....pretty much always in stock and always very inexpensive. Had 275's up front & 315's out back also.
