Guys, where can I snag a Front and Rear Bridgestone Potenza RE50A? I need single tires since the body shop replaced both on the driver's side. The ones on the passenger side need to be replaced too since the fronts are at 6/32" and the rears at 3/32"

Any recommendations on just getting single pieces besides tirerack? Really don't want to pay spend so much money this month on tires >_< (replaced the tires on my other car as well).

Insurance isn't paying for that?

Seems a little ridiculous. I would have told the shop to fuck off paying for the stock tires on one side if you needed a whole new set anyway. Such horse$hit they didn't inform you of this before they replaced the ones on the driver side. If you have to pay for half of the set, I would tell them you want different tires. The ones they mounted should be unused and easily unmounted. You can get better tires for cheaper than the damn RE050s. They suck in the wet and only mediocre dry performance for an extreme street tire IMO. PSS are far superior and less money. Or the S-04s are sooo much cheaper and way better in the wet and at least as good if not better when it's dry. Just my

You went to the Nissan place, right? They might be dicks about it. That would be pretty standard affair for Nissan

Welcome

Austin is a bit less active than some of the other regions, but it's a good group of people. Cars and Coffee at The Oasis the regular car gathering once a month (2nd Sunday I think?), but we occasionally do dinner/drinks at some local eateries. Also, check out the Capital Z Club of Texas - I think they meet every Monday down south (too far for me

)

Give me a shout if you need any help with DIY or maintenance projects. I've got a fair amount of tools if you need to use them.

Blacklisted91 · 05-13-2015, 03:16 PM

Cool, i bought the car about 3 weeks ago, i put on Top Speed Test Pipes and a Catback exhaust. Im looking to do a few things right out of the gate. I want to replace head unit, install rear speakers since the sport doesn't come with them, Powder coat rims black and i would love to paint my door handles black.
