same here, i was looking for that thread.

 

i called MV Americas tires today...i told them i need old tires taken off and new ones mounted and balanced..."that'll be $117" i laughed and hung up after being put on hold for a few minutes for that lame answer...where do they get off raping people like that?! is tire mt/bal that hard? i mean...they have skinny highschool kids doing it!

and the funny thing is the tires are a rallyX set of re92s i got for $40! lol $40 tires, paying 3X as much just to mt/bal!

i'll def get in touch with icrashed!

 

hahaha, $117??? I thought $80 for a front end alignment was bad at a local family owned shop (with hoooorrible commercials by the way) but I think $117 for mount and balance tops that....did you say you wanted it for a semi or something?

that means either I'm not going crazy or we both are

Kyle, I'll let you know what they tell me about the z212 sizes tomorrow, I got an autoresponse that said they try to reply by noon the following business day

 

cool thanks, im looking for 225 50 16

and yeah, i told them i have a LOOSE set of wheels...so they dont even have to deal with jacking up a car or lugnuts...the guy was like "that doesnt matter to me (the boss)" im like...OK thats 1/2 the work right there but oh well.

i might check out walmart too, since theyre just OEM WRX's w/ re92s

 

just deflate them and pop the bead yourself

 

i tried, disc grinder, sawzall...my beefy tire irons were too big, and i didnt wanna bend my moto ones.

anyways one tire is deflated with a huge hole in the sidewall from the attempt

the disc grinder filled the garage up with smoke after grinding a 1 inch line into the tire...so multiply that by 1000 to get the tire off.

 

DOuble post!

 

I have a set of 225-50-16 RS2's... i was gonna use them for autox but no money for it, LMK if you want them. They probably have a total of 500 miles on them, mostly freeway...

 

how wide can an 03 wrx go w/o rubbing? 235? or is it limited to 225?

edit: I roll on 18x8 superleggeras

 

Had the same rims when i bought my BugEye.... i was running 235-40-18's. No rubbing issues at all. I was also on SPT springs.
