wanna come look at wheels? no scratches, dents, dings, anything. Wheel weights on the inside, they did an awesome job.

I guess I got what I paid for, a nice smooth ride even at 135mph+.

Im giving you info from experience, NOT just assuming. I know so many people who go to walmart because how cheap it is, and NONE of them have complaints.



Do what you want. Go spend 80 dollars for balancing when you can get the same results for 20. Have fun getting no traction with the g force sports too lol the ride comfort is also questionable at best haha.


You live close to me, wanna take these piece of crap tires for a test run? hit me up haha one ride and you will immediately throw away the idea of buying them.

I have a connection (good connection) @ Town Fair when it comes to mount balance and alignment (all for $20).

I might hold out for 555's, but I'm more concerned with overall life of the tire. Like I said before I'm not planning on getting to the track more than once (if I can actually make it).
just wanted to get fresh rubber for the summer.

my 555's had 37K on them and close to half tread life, even my 555R's lasted 16K with well over 100 track passes
