its also a slightly harsher ride, slower acceleration at low end.

lol, i figured.. part of me always knew they were shit tyres.. they also wear out really fast and have shitty reviews.

but the only reason i forked out for these rims was coz it came with tyres, and i can't afford to change them now

i'll have to rough it out for a year or however long these last me before i can change..

Go to a good tyre place,they may be able to work out a trade in price on a new set of tyres.Worth a try!!!

haha this always happens, i search a year for something, then after i buy it, 3 more pop up.

did u get a wheel alignment?

update: i've noticed severe wear on my rear right tyre along the outside, which is weird because normally the inside gets worn first... its not so much of an issue as i plan to lower my car and the negative camber should take care of it.. but it never looks nice to have uneven wear..
