Can we make the OP jay-jay a VIP Member? He just saved a lot of us some real cash
For real! He hooked us up FAT!

I called my best friend at america's tire and he said to jump on that because there's NO WAY they can sell them for that low.

shouldn't be used if the tire is more than 6 years old regardless of whether they are brand new or not.

Possible yes, but not advised. A friend of mine who has worked at America's Tire for years advises no more than a 245 on a stock STi 17x8. His advice convinced me to buy some 17x9s to fit my 255s I just purchased.

I just called and ordered over the phone. They'll ship from indiana in mid march. they'll give the closeout price but shipping from IN runs twice as much as the Reno warehouse. $405 delivered for 225-50-16. Thanks for the heads up on a great price!
