Finally got two videos uploaded to Utube from my phone.  Too bad the one had so much noise.  Just turn the volume off.  I just really wanted to see how the wheels looked turning.  I forgot my camera.  Had to use phone.

Definitely looks BOSS, Dave!  Almost as good as the slicers on the Gen 2's ... J/K!!!  The videos rule!  Now pump out some low bass thru the speakers as you drive, like Barry-White-low :D

Thanks Mike!  Yes, they are very high quality especially at the $300 price point.  Good luck on getting yours this Spring.  Can't wait to see them on!

if i go, going to upgrade to 20", so tires as well. so not an inexpensive upgrade, but the stock goodyears are just junk. leaning to michelin like you have or conti dsw's. that site you had that shows current wheels versus what you are going to do is sweet & showed should fit real well even with my calipher covers

Stay away from the Michelin Primacy...I've been very disappointed with them, they are not good in any snow and I've had sidewall cracking with them, and again, when contacting Michelin they blew me off, their customer service is the worst of any company I've ever dealt with.  I know I will never ever buy an Michelin product again...not even wiper blades! :blowup:

Sorry Mark, I haven't had a problem with the Primacy.  They only have 6600 on them but they are two years old.  When I need new tires I'll probably go with the 255 Conti's or possibly the Pilots. 

mval

mark-wow that good to know. i was looking @ pilots but was leaning to the conti anyway. good rating on them & good reviews.  my goodyears haven't cracked but have worn real goofy, in the middle & i keep the pressure right & rotated them every 5k   & are no good in rain or snow. 20k only on them. the set i had on my mopar was low profile & all and made 30k. so these are real dogs. wish i could make to PA for for big meet would be fun.

Me2.... While I have had no problems with the OEM  20" Michelin Primacy It's only at about 5000 miles..... But my son had two separations on these at about 15K  ...on his MKS.... and went back with 255/40/20 with a ton of clearance.

When time comes I'm going to go to 255-275 tread width and maintain sidewall height using 30-40 profile... likely the Conti

I just bought a brand new Ford TPMS 12 (9L3Z-1A189-A) for $19.99 shipped from a liquidator on ebay.  I had $6.45 in ebay bucks to put towards it. So, $13.54!  I figured that since the guys at Advanced Auto Care did such a good job on my wheels, and I can trust them to be careful, I will just go over there and have them throw it in.  I doubt they will charge me the $20 it costs to swap the wheel.  Even if they do, I'm looking at $35 to solve my TPMS problem and just a short trip in to town instead of going to the dealer 25 miles each way.

LOL  Yeah, I figured spending my last ebay bucks to get rid of that dang exclamation/tire light would be well worth it.   ;D

Have a great trip!  Wave to BiGBenD for me as you go through Fort Stockton on 10.
