Goodyear guy hating on my Kumhos
I got a new tire from tirerack.com via UPS, hard to find a place that can mount 17inch tires, finally got referred to a place > Goodyear Tire.
ANyway this guy was talking so much **** how those tires(My kuhmos) are terrible, i made a mistake getting them, they are gonna "start peeling and bubbling"
GOD!! GIVE ME THE PATIENCE NOT TO KILL!!!

Those Pirelli P6000s in 225/50R17 are looking better all the time!

The P6000s look great, but neither tirerack nor tires.com carries them in 225/50. Have you found someplace that retails them? Thanks!

I guess you get what you pay for though. Best tires yet were my old Sumhitomo's.
