    I bought two Bridgestone Potenza RE-760, the price for tires where $167, 25% off made them $125. Then with mount ballance, warrenty for 2 tires was $353. Signed up for credit car. Saved another 10% off that making it $318. And 3 months no intest.

    I could have but since the GXP cars have the staggared front and rear sizes, and very limited on sizes that fit both. And since im just trying out a tire that ONLY fits the front of this car its not much help of anyone else really. After i get them I probally will make a post in the tire section
    (255-45-18)fronts and they will be the Bridgestone RE760
    (225-50-18)rears they are the stock Bridgestones RE050A

    That's awsome. Gotta love how people look around to find that amazing sound.
    My new tires are great so far.

    I will, I doubt the tires will make much off a change to my times. With the high altitude sucking away my HP, and actually really good track prep, i never spun at the track with the stock tires. I could launch at 3,000 RPM's and not spin the tires lol.
