I honestly would not drive on that, definitely wouldn't put your son in the car.

You're not kidding. My tires are roughly $240 a piece for stock size.

logan won't be going in the car for a while anyway. i really have no choice but to drive it. going to call the dealership to see if i can get it taken care of this weekend

[russiankid]

Just be careful with it but definitely get it fixed.

Yeah a lot of people don't understand the effects that can come with things like that. I've seen a car follow me for about 100 miles with a half flat tire.

dealership told me to come in, they're worried it'll blow

[boostedfury]

Wow that sure sucks ken keep us posted though!

[russiankid]

This most likely won't be a free service, so I am sure they're worried.

I refuse to use runflats. I just hate the way they feel. But the Eagle F1 tires suck ass and are very espensive. Def look into some Conti DW if you want a nice sticky summer tires. DWS for an all-season(what I'm going to run on the Z06 next).

sup. congrats on the vette ken. I want one too but the M3 still puts a giant smile on my face so it'll be fine for now.

[Scapegoat]

yup, going to cost me $400 smackaroos. these guys know my family though, so they're not going to be running me through the ringer on anything.

when it's time to replace all of the tires i won't be buying runflats. they're hopefully getting the tire in some time tomorrow so i can drop it off on the way home from work and pick it up saturday. they said it's not bad enough not to drive on. just sucks!

[russiankid]

$400 isn't all that bad if you factor in mount and balance, cost of the tire, and tax.

[Antonio]

yeah, ditch the Goodyear F1 supercars....they're **** tires. Just about anything out there will be a better option. As jason said, the Contis are a great "sporty" all season tire that won't break the bank

[piku]

Put a bad ass autocross tire on like Dunlop Direzza Star Spec

My Graduation Party is in 3 weeks! So excited. I am probably getting around $4,000 and since college is free, it goes right into the new car fund

[Scapegoat]

Make a smarter decision and put that money into savings

[jpalamar]

I'd put 1/2 in savings, 1/4 towards the new car fund, and maybe 1/4 towards anything else you want.

Def don't waste all of it on a car though... especially the kind your looking at. They are typically money pits.

My savings pretty much is my new car fund. Since I am still under 21, FMFCU gives me an additional 1% interest. So I get 5% interest... its awesome lol

[Scapegoat]

at my age, 29, i wish i started a retirement savings at your age. instead... i just buy a new car and pull money from savings and have to start over.

start good habits now... not at 30 lol

What Ken an Jay are saying is that at your age, many people wanted to blow all the money they have especially when it is a significant amount. It will be worth saving the money and have the money at your dispense at a later use.
