you have 24 hours, i think you gotta be able to drive to a tire store that carries the ones you want in that amount of time

[quote name='94touring' date='Jun 1 2005, 09:10 AM']Hey dude I have fusions on the rear of my car, their actually not a bad tire. Mine are 275/40/17. 265 would give you a little extra beef back there too.

Uh, ok... I got home monday late and my tires were starting to cord. Tuesday I was hemmed up literally all day with work, then talkin with a chick, then etc, etc. That makes today Wednesday and I started hunting for tires first thing in the morning, but I need 'em ON the car by Friday evening. Even if I had placed an order via web or something, chances are the tires wouldn't have shipped 'til thursday, arrive on friday, which means I'd have to get the tires after work and find someone to mount them before they close..



Someone that had them in the city and could get them to their store by thursday night, then I can drop the car off and have it finished by Friday afternoon. Hence 24 hours.

So wut you are indicating is your tires went from great treadware to chords in 2 days, thus the need for tires in 24 hours.



I've never had my tires go out that fast, I usually have plenty of warning, like a whole month where I say "time to shop for tires"
