Need new front tires - some that actually fit the rim Hey all, I had a flat tire yesterday morning. Pop on my spare after work and head to discount. I had cheap sumi's up front. For what they are, they are quite a valuable tire. Either way, discount does not carry them and I need a tire ASAP considering I am on spare and it is Friday. Have bad luck with NTB so thats why I dont go there, I know they carry sumi's, but it is not worth it FOR ME.
I purchased some cheapo falcons for the front, 275/40/17 on my 17" Chrome Z06 17x9.5 replicas. They look like garbage. WAY too narrow. I contacted the store and they said they would let me exchange and just pay the difference as long as I keep the miles off of them. They would have to order any non falcon tire in that size due to their recent low stock.
So Falcons apparently run narrow, does anyone have any suggestions that would run a similar width to the sumi's? I have til Monday to get it figured out, thats when he can order them for me.
