The Gold SSRs look sweet. Just those over-hdr'ed photos look like ass.

The first link that Terry posted looks damn good!

2 front summer tires and 2 rear winter tires?!?

C'mon Mike!

I know.. But I didn't realize until the day I picked it up.

Don't worry, I'm on it.

If you check out tirerack.com and find something you like.. I could potentially help get them for you at the UPS store in the OG this weekend. I'm heading there to pick up an EVO 8 steering wheel and some other rando parts.

I need 2 of these tires. I'll worry about the rims when I can save up

Where are FUZION tires made?

If you select a tire that's made in the states, there's only 1 duty to cover + hst.

You can save some money if you do it that way.

I have NO problem picking up two tires for you at the OG and bringing them with me the weekend of April 13th.

But I just realised something..you're AWD now. You should seriosly consider buying a SET of 4 tires.

But 4 tires is a LOT for me to lug...

You're a douche! I own those in a 17"

Mike, We changed only the driver side tire. It was matched with the passenger side. I think it was around 160 including taxes and installation.

Ughhh.. I thought you changed both the drivers and passenger. Mis-communication, probably. Its fine.

So I have 1 brand new tire, 1 tire with x amount of tread left, and 2 winter tires? Lol, Would I still be fine getting only 2 tires? or should I get 3?

The passenger side has lots of tread, so there was no point of changing it. Driver side had a slash through it and instead of getting it fixed, we just replaced it. This was done like 2 months before you bought the car.

When you replace tires on an AWD, you should replace all and make sure the tread is matching.

Mike, I'd save up and buy a set of 4 tires. Better safe than sorry my friend!

I just got a nice set of Star specs through Tire Rack (apparently these aren't available in Canada).

I have to agree with Jay, my car was doing weird sh!t when my tires weren't matched.

my understanding with the Evo/Ralliart is if the tires are not matching the ECU/TCU (whatever) shuts off the active center diff and you'll have to go into the stealership to have it turned back on.

So 3 brand new tires, and 1 tire with say 90% tread left will cause a problem?

I bought the car like this from Deep, and he told me to just worry about the rear tires. If I have any huge issue down the road because of that 1 tire which wasn't replaced... then I'll make sure he's aware of it. I'm getting the 2 replaced on the 13th, so it's just 1 more week.

I tried to contact Fai Lee from the board about the Volk TE37s and unfortunately he doesn't carry them. He usually has pretty good prices so that kind of crushed my dreams! haha.

You definitely need 4 matching tires for any AWD car. Deep is not liable for what tires come with what car..as long as he's selling it "safetied"..the tires on the car have to pass.

It's in the new owners best interest to do their due diligence in determining what tires are on the car and if they're all matching. Nothing to do with the vendor..sorry Mike.

BUT!! not all is lost. It sounds like you got a great deal and above all of that. Bought a used car from a reputable member here. SOO...be lucky that it's ONLY tires you're looking for. Or rim and tires...but you get my point right?

Athough I agree with you Mike. I also think it's the job of the seller to inform the new owner of the status of the car and what it might need.

When I bought my car it had three different tires on and drove like sh!t, I was not aware that was an issue so when I got my safety done I only replaced one tire.
All four tires had three different levels of wear on them.
If it wasn't for the fact that I had a chat with someone who understood an awd system that I learned that I needed to replace all four.
If I had known this from the beginning then I would have replaced all four when doing the safety.

It frustrates me that these things can be hidden, and as you can probably tell I will be sh!t talking the previous owner of my car for a long time.

When you're running a business, and you have guidelines that are implemented by the government's safety standards..it's not about cutting corners and making a quick buck. It's about meeting or exceeding those standards and making an honest buck.

Deep isn't liable. End of story. Sorry to sound so douchey but I gotta fend for him even though he's a leafs fan and I know the business well.

Thank you, The tires were above safety "standards". Ive never heard of this before(replacing all 4 on awd car) and Mike hasn't either. I always take the extra mile when selling to someone I know, Example in your case I did a Syn. Oil Change, New brake pads which met safety "standards", but I wanted you to be maintenance free in the near future. If either of us knew about the tires Earlier, I would have adjusted the price accordingly and we would have taken care of it. I won't be posting in here anymore, but just do the car a favor and buy rims

Wait wait guys, I'm not mad about this. I've already got the two tires paid for, and installation set up for a week from today.

Deep, don't take it the wrong way. I'm still super happy about the purchase! I'll be in touch with you regarding the alignment after the 13th as well.

I DO want new rims on the car, but obviously this added cost did set me back a few hundred bucks. Maybe next year... lol.

These are two words you never use to describe an EVO!

Deep, that is just the response I expected from you and is the reason why I continue to recommend you.

Thanks, I try my best

Last one. Didnt want to leave Bryan hanging you crazy Sens fan.

What are your guys' thoughts on these? Rota Torques. They will work with OEM tire specs which is awesome.

They look OK if they were the ONLY rims you could buy...but they just don't work on the EVO x IMO.

I'm with Terry on that one!

Really eh? I thought they looked good and pretty aggressive

I fu*king hate picking rims. There's too many choices.

I think these are dope.



OR

FWIW, I think the Torques look WAY better on the Evo than either of the above two options

Agreed. The Torques wouldn't be my first choice overall, but they're certainly the best of the three

Whatever is super light weight and as wide as the EVO can handle, I like!

If anyone is going to spend ANY money on wheels. They better out perform the stockers in dimension and in weight.

Also a fan of busy looking wheels!

Yeah I am with Mike, minus the busy part, and obviously something YOU are happy with.

The company I'm talking to currently (who I got my springs from) said they carry

Enkei, Advan, Wedsport, WORK, Volk, Rays, Gram Lights, HRE, ADV1, OZ

So I'll be researching to see what I like from those

Better to buy in the states, drive down on some sh!t steelies and swap them there. Leave the steelies behind.

You'll save a ton of dough.

Or, buy lightly used.

Just so you know, Rotas are a knock off brand. I think Rota even sells a knock off TE37

i believe they are these, they aren't the exact same, but they are the Rota P45r
