locked up the fronts at about 100...help

Ok long story short i was crusing in the left lane at about 90-100 just minding my buis and some dumbass in a van decides to cut in my lane right in front of me, i reacted and just slammed on the brkaes, locked up the wheels for about 100ft..... i know i was suposed to pump but it happend so quick i didnt have time to think....


The tires have huge flat spots and i dont know what to do....

the tires are pritty new but they are ventus so they were nothing special

should i just do a burnout?
Put them in the rear?
buy new ones? (i dont really have money for this cause i just got a S/C and need other stuff)

Far as I know there's nothing you can do about it. Sorry. Just the fronts huh? You sure it wasn't all four? Oh, and be glad you didn't spin, roll etc. at that speed.

Ya im glad nothing worse happend, i just did the brakes and installed drilled rotors about 2 weeks ago so i think that helped

I didnt realy see or feel anything on the rears, but i bet they are alittle flat.

They front are bad tho, they are almost down to the peice that tells you to buy new tires and the tires only have about 6k on them
