$600

I went out for a cruise tonight.. just to enjoy the night.

I just pulled into my driveway, with a flat. There was a good size screw in it. Of course it was the front tire, rather than the rear, which I won't need in a week. It's plugged at the moment, but I'm guessing I need an all new tire.

I'm gonna need two new front's now.. What do you guys suggest for front performance tires?

Are your rears not 275's too? I'm going to try some Toyo fronts to match the Toyo DR's (not tread pattern wise, but manufacturer). They are reasonably priced, my favorite street tire to date is a BFG KD though.

I have BFG DR's out back, and yes they are 275's.. soon to be 315 Toyo Proxes. Now I need new fronts cause I don't think it's safe to always run on a plugged tire?

Are you talking front or rear? Cuz BFG doesn't make the KD in a 315/35/17 anymore. One of my almost new ones (less than 20 miles on them) got a huge slice in it, and I had to get two new rears because I couldn't get one to match. They only make that size in the R1 and the KD Drag Radial.

Looks great! hurry up and show us the rest of the pics!

^^ Nice Jonas.

Yeah, I thought the front tires looked a little weird once I got them back? Too much air in them or something?

Well I've been kind of sick, and I JUST woke up (7PM) so the back of my car is still 3 feet in the air I need to do a little more BFH mod, and it'll be all done. It's gonna be raining for the next couple days, but I'll get a little photo shoot to show off the new wheels.

Oh yeah, how do you guys like my hydraulics? lmao

They really do. I walked outside of my house to find them just sitting at the bottom of the steps. Nice surprise by UPS. The rears are mounted and everything, I just have to take them back off and bang out the wheelwell some more.. but it's been raining non stop. I can't wait to see how they look on the ground, let alone how they drive.

I originally ordered black ones with a machined lip! Then I freaked out after staring at my car for about 30 minutes, and contacted the wheel company in every way possible to change to chrome. LOL
