hit a curb

hit a curb and the rim got scratched up and the tire had a deep cut.  I had to replace the tire and some guy quoted me $272 for the one tire and balance.  I kept asking around and I got a Michelin Raptor 225 45ZR 17 tire to replace the stocker for $127 with tax and balance.  I don't know much about the tire, but I hope it handles in rain okay.

Re: hit a curb

Ouch, man. Same happened to me a couple months ago. I blacked out and smoked a curb.

The rim got scratched and the tire has a bit of a chunk missing out of it.

I'm just waiting until I can replace all four of them at once and be rid of the stockers smiley-smile

If you had the gold Nismos, I'd be all over your nuts.  Also, you should edit your "Showoff Page".  You're still representing Kar Life...

Re: hit a curb

I blew my stock Continental Right passenger side tire. I took my car to Firestone they claimed the stock tires for our cars are no longer made. I had to get a contact 3 Continental.

My car would pull to the left with I the new tire on. So I had to put the new tire on the back to make the car drive straight.
I guess cause the car is front wheel drive. The tread was a bit different on the new tire and I believe it was a y tire not a w tire. For a while I thought it was  the alignment until I had three different alignments and it did not fix the problem.

they still make the Contact sport 2 P225 WR45 R17 as far as I know.  The guy told me $272 dollars and I about shat my pants.  Yeah I have the new tire on the rear as well.  20,000 mile tire and a 0 mileage tire would not drive very evenly.  The thing I like about the stocker tires are that they have those 3 or 4 deep channels for driving in the rain.
