WTB :: Tires for stock wheels

Well, unfortunately I go a flat tire over the weekend and there seems to be no other option but buy a new set.

Not looking for anything super performance rated, just some standard everyday tires. They will be going on my OEM 17x7 WRX wheels, so what every fits, I shall buy


Let me know what ya got

You can shave a new tire.

You can also shave a balloon if your careful enough.


all kidding aside, you really shouldn't shave tires for an all wheel drive car, especially when your other three are already pretty worn.

There is nothing wrong with shaving them..... The only feasible reason against is if your other tires are up for replacement soon as well.

Buy a used tire like at Farmer Jones in SJ. Not sure what's out there in Livermore.
