Ended up getting the tires put on a toyota for $60 for all 4. I tryed to goto wal-mart is cape coral at 5:30 and the automotive section was already closed. I called them 30 minutes before just to make sure and they said "Come on by!".. Even the door said they close at 8pm. ....bastards

Then I went down the road to Firestone right on Delprado, they wanted $127!! hahaha, I walked out of there laughing..

The used car toyota dealer.. They came and picked me up at work when it was done, also.

I went from 225/50/17 up front to 245/45/17s
In the back I went from 255/50/17 to 245/45/17

I wanted to be able to rotate them. The car feels like it handles much better now, I took some really really hard turns yesterday and it was soo sooo much better. Barely even broke the tires loose in a turn, when before it would just roast them when I went WOT (they were very bald)

2nd gear use to spin and spin when I hit it, now I just here a really small chirp and thats all.

Tires at NT555 (non-drag radials), only cost me $415 with new valve stems shipped to me house, off of discounttiredirect

nice price man. I get all my tires from there.

I went to mr front end here in punta gorda friday morning before work and they had my truck done in like 2 hours and that was with a full alignment. I paid 128 out the door to get the tires mounted ballanced and the alignment done. I needed an alignment though it was a little off and now I can really tell the difference in the drive.

the guy that owns mr front end is a chill dude and will help you out.

Well my car isn't lowered so it's not even close to rubbing in the back or front. I think mine ar 17 x 7 or 17 x 8, I'm really not sure.

Is that what size mine are?

I think my rims are the same size all around.. At least I hope they are because I was wanting to rotate the tires and I got the same size all around so I would be able to.
