For the $$$ spent, you will be impressed w/the tire build quality & w/the 240 rating, they will last

Assuming youre getting the 265's? They are freaking wide LOL

They have a 255/45r17 but I don’t know if that’s too tall?
someone recommended the hankook rs3 which are cheaper than the Michelin’s and I can’t remember if they had the exact same size. I’m gonna come up with a few different ones and post on here lol, theirs literally too many options

Now until 6/16/2019 Costco is having a sale on Michelin tires. It's $70 instant rebate and $60 Costco gift card if you pay with Costco Visa. So a total of $130 off, but the tire size you want is not available.

So after too much reading up on tires smh , I’m going to bite the bullet and get the MPS 255/40r17 because I found a price of around $850 for all 4 or I’m going to get another set of continentals but this time the ExtremeContact sport. I have a set of DWS on my stock wheels and honesty I’ve never lost grip on the street and I’ve got around 30k miles on them and the tread wear is about half gone so their definitely a good wearing tire. I have some CC bills I need to pay off first however haha. I’ll keep you all posted as I get closer to ordering them.

Good to hear

I have the dws version on my stock wheels and always thought they worked great and wore down very well.

Small update: got the wheels and tired mounted and balanced and they look soooo sick!!

Got my TRE trans cooler adapter plate and TC inspection cover plate in the mail today and let me just say these parts look so legit and the packaging was perfect too , plus it came with a bunch of extra o-rings.

cleaning up the wheels, waxing and sealing them before I install and I actually still need to roll the fender.

more to come .... always more to come!!


Goodies!!! Also made in the USA so another plus!

Awesome... I’ve been looking at this part for a couple years now and every time I try to order one their never in stock, so I jumped this time lol. I’ll prob wait till I have to change the fluids to install so I’m not just wasting too much money lol
