I'm planning on getting new tires to replace my stock toyo's. What website did you grab them from?

oh yeah.. i forgot to mention.. since you're mounting your tires, you might want to consider the smartire digital tire pressure gauge.. a sender unit is mounted on the rim.. and a reciever unit is somewhere on the car.. and there is an in cabin display... very good thing to have.. it's always important to check your tire pressure regularly, and for people the neglect to do so, it's a good thing to have.. i plan to put that in my car the next time i get tires.. but i'm still sticking to potenza's.. just the newer one.

i currently have the s-02 non pole position in 235/40-zr18 so next time around im getting s-03 235-40-yr18 pole position.. the s-03 came out not long after i purchased the s-02 so i didn't get a chacne to try them.. my brother had the s-02 pole position on his prelude and i loved it alot.. and so did my sister on her m3.. she also had the michillen pilot sports which were also great, but i like the s-02 better beause of it's high ratings in wet traction.. and they dont' have the woh woh woh woh woh woh sound like some other perforance tires.. i'm not sure about teh road noise on the s-03 tires tho..

My $.02... you still should seriously consider the Michelin Pilot XGT-Z4's. I have had them on two Maximas now and they are AMAZING!! The traction is incredible, the wet weather grip is outstanding and they never seem to wear out. I sound like a commercial for these tires...

www.tires.com. They were 132 bucks each. Total of $564.92 with shipping. You want to know how much the screen was? If you look close you can see i am playing "The Fast and The Furious" on the screen

I got it from my local auto shop. It was 1800 for the unit and another 400 to put it in. I already had my screen hooked up so i just tied it in to video 2. It has voice command and voice directions. I would check out www.Pionner.com. It has everything about it.

I've had the Nitto's for over half the year and love the traction and control. They are a little noisy at freeway speeds though not especially. I had Michellin Pilots-Z4 on a Supercharged Regal and loved them as they were super quiet but wore out within 20K. The Nitto's still look new and show full tread. Good Luck!

Really not supposed to use a 245 on a 7 inch rim, but i have talked to people who have done it and they say it's fine.
