But I'm starting a new job in a few weeks and my goals it to have 50K for a house downpayment in two years all while getting a 3.0 swap and gettin married. So saving 500$ instead of buying steelies and snows is a big deal. I did look it over though you your words did not go unoticed

Your tires will last twice as long if they're only used for half the year. So, the initial cost hurts, but it all works out in the end. Plus, your car will be significantly better in the summer, and worlds better in the winter.

I tried finiding a steelie source online but they all had only 14" for the tour and they were about 50$ each Should I look into focus steelies are they 15" I wish I knew more info on where to find some blackholes, that would make the decision 1000X easier Originally posted by Auto-X Fil: Consider this: A set of steelies is dirt cheap, almost free at a u-pull-it.

Get them from a junkyard - they're something like $15 w/ tire here. Just look for damage! -Philip Maynard '95 Contour [71 STS \| Track Whore] '97 Miata [71 ES \| Boulevard Pimp] 2006 autocross results
