Anyone Have Some..??


I need to get my car inspected on monday and it wont pass with my bald tires. i need 2 tires to get me through inspection till i can afford my blizzaks for winter. I only need 2 ,195/55/r16s. help a miniac out please!!cry I will obviously pay for them. i just dont have 300$ for 2 tires at the moment. id rather save for 4 blizzaks.

Thanks, Brian

Sorry I can't help you VB, but I'm curious--are the two you need replaced on opposite sides or the same side? I ran into the same thing, but it was both right tires. I'd been rotating them every 5-6,000 miles so that wear pattern kinda surprised me.

Hope you are able to round up a couple to get you through the inspection--the Blizzaks would be a good thing.

I have two 15s, but not 16s, and they're not on rims. I think that they're 165/55/15. If you can make that work and find rims, then let me know.

Lots of spin outs in your first year with a MINI? It is hard to resist, that is why in the future get ultra high performance summer tires they seem to be very hard. If you are planning on getting snow tiers I found NEXEN UHPST for about $50 a piece. They arn't the best tire in the world but they have been really great this summer.

I ordered online and it took less than a week to get here.

I can't remember the company I ordered from. I will do some searching and try to figure it out.

VB, why don't you just sell one of your 150+ cars, and use that money to purchase tires?
