Definatly don't cheap out on the tires + you got the rims fo free. How'd you do that. You will regret it later on if you buy cheap tires.

We'll i'm not looking to like to go kill myself i'm not that cheap but I dont need a crazy band name of tires. I won't mind them used but not with like 25,000 miles on them. i'm prob going to check Mavis Tire Discount sometime later this week they say the Junk Yard by Shea stadium you ca nget them for pretty good prices or a junk yard here in Garden City, NY. The reason I dont wanna spend a lot is casue im broke lol. What do you guys think of the rimd tho?

Mavis or anyone else local for that matter wont beat online prices from my experience... i got 20" tires, delivered from cali, for $120 a pop.

If your looking for a decent snow tire, its not going to be cheap, theres gotta be a middle ground.

1st, selling your stockers should get you enough cash to buy GOOD tires!2nd, whats the width of the wheel (so we know what tire size you need).

Personally, i dont think we get enough snow on LI to require top-notch all weather tires... You can pick up some cheap asian tires online as well.. ebay is a good tool, combined with the live.com cashback makes you a winner!

P.S. fake a stomach ache and come to the meet lol

Well last year it snowed like several times but only once did it last a while. I gotta find someone who wants to buy my stockers. You know I haven't called out from my job since...last Feb. It's hard to miss a days pay bc of the car payments. My insurence is actually up this month so I don't have to pay till Jan. We should take over the Euro meet by Best Buy here in Westbury. Come before they do, they all come at like 10

List your stockers or "cruiser 17s" on ebay man!If you want USED tires, it wont cost much, but idk about getting used tires IMHO.

Everytime I go to those Euro meets I feel poor. I see 20yr olds with M6, S65, SLR Mclaren and i'm like wtf. Ya i know you were kidding about the work thing. I really want to try to make it. There's a spot where we cam have our meet theres a Home Depot Expo that has a pretty big lot. We should consider it. I'm going to go look around tomorrow and see the rims haven't come in yet so I gotta see. I'm not going to buy tires that have like 50,000 miles on them. Gotta be less thetn 5,000 or 7,000
