What size are those?

$300 shipped for 4 new tires is a pretty good deal. Warranty included?

That's not a bad deal at all. I Know tirerack offers a "road hazard" warranty so I was wondering if you got that with those, usually its about $40-$50 for all four for the life of the tire if I remember correct. They look good, just make sure to post pictures burning up the olds and pictures of the new skins on.

Yeah, maybe if I had the money. Again, I only had $315 (see my bday thread for pics) so I actually was in the hole a few bucks. Had I wanted to opt for that, I'd've gotten the shittiest slipperiest tires they have..

I do like the warranty, but again I dont have the money yet to shell out that money. Originally I was going to wait until I got my rims and just do it all together from Tire Rack for $1100 or whatever, but (yet again) I dont yet have the funding.

Here are some comparo pics I took.

I went on Goodyear.com and TireRack and could not find the "Eagle Touring" model..its as if they dont even acknowlegde it exists! I'll just be glad to take it off.




Also notice that the width on the Goodyears are both 215...even less than stock! These new Supras flat out look much better, both visually and grippily.
