      also along with my first question, if i run bridgestone re070 225/45/17 in the back and those raptors 215/40/17 in the front, is that a decent tire setup for street and track? im not very knowlegdable with tires.

        Cheap slippery junk.

        joe- if anything, run the 215/40 all the way around. The 225/45 is going to be at least an inch taller, which will through off your speedo and abs. And you want the same make/model tire front and rear to get a decent setup for anything.

          dangg, well i already have the re070's on the back cause i got them for 50$ for both of them. Also im gonna get the raptors for same price which is why i wanna just go for it. I mean for that price i should do it right? Im not made of money at all im in debt and going to school so ya...

          Also not really worried bout the ABS or speedo at all, fuck abs for all i care lol.

              If you want cheap tires, get some federals.

                I was gonna say it.

                595's are actually excellent tires. I ended up with a pair on a set of Contours I got for the M3 2 years ago, and within a week bought another pair to match. Really impressive for the money.
