Ok to start with, i need to vent about the ****in morons out on the roads around the country (us and canada)! i got run off the road this am on the way to work...mind you i wasn't in the guy's blind spot, i was right along side of him. he felt that since he had to get over, i should get out of his way or be hit! just to add a bit to the story, we were in the middle of a nice snow storm here in central ny! as i swerve out of this idiots way, i went up over the granite curbing along erie blvd here in syracuse...can anyone tell me a quicker way to loose two potenza's and a rim? you got it, both on the right side! i was so pissed off, i would have drug the guy from his car and beat him smart! that is just the start...nowhere around has the flippin tires in stock...any 17's what so ever! have to order them and that could take a week or more! the dealer doesn't even have them! at least they are doing everything short of taking them off a max on the lot! don't laugh, that was actually brought up in our convo. i guess it is a blessing...i intended on getting snow tires soon-just not a new rim. does anyone have a spare SE 17" rim to possibly buy??? my last resort is to order the tires from tire rack, overnight them here, and have the dealership mount them up...one prob still------i need a flippin new rim!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for listening! i feel better now. drive safe, and look out for the idiot that ran me off the road...you could be next!]

IWNTNEWTIRES!!

 

I've seen Nitto 450's in our size... tried finding them in a mag recently but couldn't find it. Wonder where it went?

 

i can find the tires, just not here. they'll take about a week or so to get here, and with having two of us in the house, and working at different ends of town, with different sched. is a pain in the assssssssss!!! tire rack can do them i believe, but no word yet...find out tomorrow. thanks for all your imput on the site...it is invaluable and has helped many of us with questions and problems! have a happy holiday.

 

 

Me helpful? I just "spam" a lot according to others...

You're welcome.

 

I think I saw the 550's in 225/50 on tires.com.

 

Hope this works...

tires.com has the 450's

Nitto NT-450 Extreme Performance SUV
225/50R-17 94V
UTQG: 300 A A
Ultra high performance all-season truck tire

Note that it says <b>SUV</b>... also it gave me an "Uncommon Size" error.

i finally found tires...tire rack had em. i ended up getting the michelin pilot alpins...great in the snow and ice, but still very good on dry pavement...143 a tire, but there were only 3 left in the us...in reno nevada! snow tires in reno??? i took two of them. that leaves one left for some other poor soul. they said that i could have gotten the blizzak mz-01, but i would have had to purchase all 4! anyone heard that before? we used to do it when i worked at a tire place, but it was because of comission reasons...i know it's low, but we did. tire rack though??? well just thought i would keep yall up on the whole hunt for tires saga. happy holidays!!! oh-i am still looking for 1 17" rim, the dealer said they were expensive to order, but he would give them to me at cost, if i needed him to. thanks everyone, for your help.
