ok.. whats the deal? I have stock s14 basemodel rims. i belive they are 15x6.5 i am buying dunlop fm901's 195/55/15 so they are a little shorter than stock. but b/c of that tirerack will not give me they dunlop warranty packet. they say i must move up to the 205/55/16, i dont want 205's. whats the deal

i know people stretch 215's over 8" wide tires. whats up:mad:

and WHO cares? warranty, sheeat.. the only warranty I need is if a tire gets a nail, they fix it.

What are you looking for, MILEAGE warranty? What exactly are you talking about?

gee, if you want your speedo to work right, go with a:

195/60/15
or
205/60/15

both fit fine and work.

DJ machine.. learn to read properly

i wrote 215 in original post, not 205's. i'll retract ur previous statement b/c of temporary dumbness.

Are you buying these from the retail department, or the wholesale department?

[email protected] ([email protected]) has been a great help - he is also a moderator of the wheel/tire forum on the NIco boards his extension is 313

also, I believe Luke is a moderator over on freshallow and has been known to help people get approvals for "non-fitting" stuff

If you are trying for wholesale.... good luck - the rep I dealt with was not very helpful - I brought business elsewhere

I just bought a yokohama a550h in 195/60 today. The guy was like "you know you could get this tire, it has a better warranty" I said, no...I'll just go w/the Yokohama tire thank you.
It's gonna wear down or blow anyways. :p

Sounds like you need to find a good local shop...

I got a shop that will do anything. They also fix nail and sheat for free.
