I went to get my inspection sticker today and the guy noticed that my tire had a small slash on the sidewall. I'm thinking about getting brand new tires all around, i have 17" wheels and have done the search but everyone recommends different things. I am almost positive I'll be getting Kumho brand tires. I need all season, which do you recommend and what size? Thanks guys!

 

For the tire size, 215-40-17 if available, otherwise, stick with the 205-40-17's. As for the Khumo tires, they're a good brand, but I've always preferred my Toyo Proxes 4's.

 

toyo's are expensive lol, right now i have 205/40/17 tires, would the 215 fit? what's the difference and gains if any?

 

just stick with 205/40 its a nice tire size and go with Kumho ASX's they are amazing....

 

you should get 215-45-17. You have aftermarket struts that can see in you sig so you would be able to clear the strut perch. 215 provides better grip too

 

ya i have the tokico struts so i think i will go with the 215 but i was thinkin bout these tires.....http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....s&place=50

 

neon03, what the heck are these "inspections" people keep posting about on here?
Is this from the state yer in? What state is this?

I've never had a car "inspected" to get some sticker....never even had to do those stupid exhaust tests like I hear about in calif.

need to know what state this is so's I don't make any plans to move there....

 

lol i know, right. when i get my car "inspected" the guy checks my head and tail lights, horn, and drives the car 10 feet, i assume to make sure the brakes work and thats it.

 

those are good and they will fit

 

nice! thanks guys

as for the inspection in Texas your car has to be inspected in order for you to operate the vehicle legally. I know some states don't do any testing of any kind but here they do. They checked my window tint, tires, brakes, headlights, tail lights, turn signals, hazards, and emissions. They also passed a new law, if your CEL is on it's an automatic fail. I passed but the guy had warned me about the tire.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WONDERING IF THE 02 SENSOR NON FOULER WORKS, I PASSED THE EMISSIONS TEST NO PROBLEMS (i'mprettysure my catalytic converter is crap)I HAVE BEEN RUNNING IT FOR A WHILE NOW, AND STILL NO CEL (knock on wood).
