No spare tire really sucks

The trunk is HUGE anyways.

Will the 18"s clear the front brakes?

If a set comes back up for sell....just an idea.

I am in if you can find a deal again!!

I'm looking at the wheel thinking it's toast, but it turns out to be allright (just not very pretty).

The pain in the a$$ was not having a spare. I had to have the car towed back to my dealership to have a new tire put on.

Am I the only one wondering about the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoing System)? Did you not get dings, a low pressure light, or an EVIC message?

If the system fails, does the warranty cover any subsequent damage?

The tires are a fully matched set of 4 Goodyear Eagle RSAs 245/45/ZR20. Some of the tires have major problems, and are for core purposes only. Some of the tires are holding air, 2 are holding air. If you can use them, great, but we cannot guarantee anything.

$300 plus the cost of a new tire.

Pass...I am sure there are better deals out there.

I bought a real clean stock wheel locally for 200.00. If you look there are some out there.
