Default FS: 305/45/18 Nitto DR
I have two brand new 305/45/18 Nitto Drag Radials for sale. I am asking $400 shipped if you are in Texas or $390 if you come and get them. I would be willing to trade for two 295-305/35/18 tires. PM me or call me at 832-641-3958. I will accept paypal, money order, or cash.

Thanks

JOE

Default Fitment
On a lowered car, they tend not to fit so well! Discount tire test fitted them this morning, needless to say I dont want to go through the process of modifying the fenders etc.

Those tires have a big sidewall. Discount ordered the wrong ones for my car too but they exchanged them for the right size.

Thats crazy. Did they do the mounting and balancing? When mine came in they asked me to come check them out and I soon as I saw them we new they were too big. All he did was order the right ones and that was it. You may want to try a different discount tire or ask one of the many people on the site here that work at Discount Tire to help you out if they can.

Yes, the Discount Tire in League City did the mounting and balancing this morning "test fit." Anyhow, after they discovered that the tires wouldnt fit, they simply stated that they couldnt give me a store credit to purchase another set. Needless to say, it was my fault, but I figured they would help me out considering all of the business i have given them in the past years. Like i said though, im not sure if its the issue of me ordering them online instead of from their store as to the reason why they wont give me a credit. If anyone out there can help, it would be greatly appreciated. It would make this much less of a hassle, but we all know how that goes. Thanks
