If you don't mind me asking, how much did those tires cost you?

I ask cause I have the same tires and just wanted to compare.

By the way. Car looks great! I like how you chose to 'smoke' the lights rather than black them out.

i chose to "smoke" them because the guy said that he could match my tint!! so i think that looks better, it also matches the "pearl Black" molding the 129s have everywhere!!

my nittos cost i think around 1K. a little less. i have the staggard.*

How do you like the nittos? I have the same exact setup 275/35 and 245/40, and so far I am loving them! With my current driving style they hug the road pretty damn well, and off the line I don't 'chirp' as much as I used to.

By the way, I was asking for price, just to get a feel of what people charge. One local shop wanted 1100 for them mounted and balanced, but I know this guy and he gave them to me for 800 mounted and balanced

The only thing was that I had to pay in cash, which is no biggie to save 3 hundred bucks I was only considering paying the 1100 because I wanted them asap, but they couldn't get them till the following monday, so I went with the guy i know and saved some money :p

i love the Nittos! i gone 150+MPH and tottaly felt safe (i had to slow down for a turn! lol) i like how FAT they are, all too often you see an SL with skinney tires that is kicking its ASR all the time! i like how i can stomp on the gas with no tire squeak! (most of the time) they are great!!!! also i like how RENntech uses them on there cars
