Tires Or Rotors
Hey guys right now my eagle f1 gs-d3's have like 25% tread on them and need replacing. Looking at Nittos.
I'm on a tight budget and I also need brakes and rotors too. I was wondering the the Bendrix ones are any good. Looking to get 1 of these
Now should I get the tires or the rotors and pads. The rotors on mine are warped as i feel a slugging when i let off the brakes till i accelerate

Get autozone or advanced auto rotors should not be much. The only time rotors will cause a problem is when y r braking by the way. They are cheep. u should replace tires if they r to bad.

Rotors 1st I had the same problem with my truck few months back and trust me the tires can wait.
Having no tread sucks but having no brakes blows a big one.

anyone who says tires needs to put things in perspective. the longer you wait to get brakes/rotors the more damage you going to cause to the entire braking system of the car. greatest tires in the world wont help you if your breaks lock up instantly because of warped rotors. go with brake pads/ rotors.

Like I said your best bet is to get some tires, hawk pads, and some brembo blanks. They are cheap and will complete both of your problems.

I voted rotors. What good is it to have nice tires if you cant stop worth a damn because you have sub standard braking components.
Fix the brakes and drive more conservative until you can get new tires.

Have you had Hawke Pads before? If so, which ones?
I have had the Hawke HP pads on both my 01' TA and 99' Firebird and they worked great. I even tried Axxis before the Hawke on the 01' and decided I like the Hawke better.
If you have tried Hawke before then I wouldn't mind more info on these Thermoquiets if you have a link.
But, I would still highly recommend Hawke.

Anyhow this guy hasn't even posted back in his own thread which is wierd. Maybe he has already done something. Or just enjoys everyone arguing
