Got off work later than I wanted to, took my flat tire to a local tire store, he put air in it ,sprayded soapy water around the bead,treads. No leak must of been a unseated bead.
He also commented on my tire choice as being shit. I said they were the lowest price ones. I asked about Kuhmos he goes there OK better. I say how bout falkens? His reply was there shit too, though they make a good racing tire. He said he bought pirellis for his beamer & that's what I should of bought. He has a nice big shop with alignment equipment. I asked if he could gaurentee the work. He said sure, I go how much bout $150. He says $99. So that's where Ill go after I Install the strut cartridge he's gonna sell me with the lowered springs. I have to work a couple he's on Sunday though after that Ill put these on & post pics.

The only thing i'm worried about is the size you picked. Your overall wheel diameter seems too large. Is that what you wanted? I would have gone for 225/50/16

I know . Heres how it happens, I printed out what I wanted from there web site last week. Casey the dude I talked when I went to the store last week took the paper showed me the the tires & said he'd save it on file for a couple weeks. Yesterday before I bought these, I talked about sizes.45s for one he didnt have any & doubted he could get them after I asked if they were order able. I then brought up 60s him saying the computer said they were too big. I told him I added wheel flairs a Carrera gt kit. Well he put on the 60s he said they were the same price & I could bring them back If there was an issue. So let's check the look Sunday afternoon.

Have been busy with no time as of late. The rims had a rubber
sealer around the inside to keep the air in, May a porious leak.
The bead blaster took it off on one of the rears giving me a leak.
I put tires on the front.
