Re: [DML] Tires (again?) XGT's Chrome and other dumb questions

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Part of the problem in replacing the tires is that very few tire
manufacturers are making the same type tires (front and rear) in these
different sizes  anymore. We are very fortunate that a company like
Michelin is doing it. They are great tires and you will notice a BIG
difference when you get them on especilly since you had the wrong
tires to begin with. Have the spare tire resealed with Camel Bead
Sealer so it will hold air for more than 1 day while you are there.
Spend the extra couple of $ and get them spin balanced (off the car).
If the car has never been aligned it would be a good time to have that
checked out too. I would make sure that these tires are supposed to be
on those rims you bought from Don. It is possible that the rims are
not correct for the origional size tires. Have the rims measured
before you spend the money on the tires. The tire shop should be able
to confirm that the rims would work. Some rims have a different offset
that requires additional spacers in the rear. Call Don before you
spend any more money. If the car was lowered you could also have
clearance problems with different offsets. If the rims are the
origional ones, but chromed, you should be OK.
