so i noticed my front tires were cupping and wearing on the inner treads due to a lil camber.
my rears were wearing fine. so i copped a couple new Fed's since my Falken FK-452's been discontinued.
paid a lil over $100 a tire which is pretty good if you ask me.
probably wont put them on just quite yet though.

Better check on those feddy's after you install them. I had bought some brand new 225/35/19 feddys for the front and the sidewalls were cracking when I sold the wheels and tires. It's be a while, but they couldn't have had more than 6-10k miles on them. I had had them less than a year. I think the weight of the gs may have had something to do with it.
