[QUOTE="01silverstang, post: 16636865, member: 21743"] I finally got my new tires installed this past weekend (Happy early birthday to me) and it was quite the experience. The weather he has been trash for the last week, and we have more rain this week hopefully clearing to sun for the 4th of July and my birthday on the 5th. That being said tide, time, and tires wait for no man. Now some of you may think I'm crazy but I took Casper to Walmart. I had been searching for a while and there were either limited expensive options at Pep Boys / Firestone or larger but still expensive options at Discount Tire. I was able to order Nitto 555's for the best price I could find, and installation with road hazard was $102. I stayed right there to monitor and everything when fine. [ATTACH=full]1709917[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1709918[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1709919[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1709920[/ATTACH] The only thing I would have done different in the future is going with 255/40/18 for the front, instead of 245/40/18... it doesn't look great and it doesn't look bad, for the price I'm ok with it. The rear are 275/35/18. I experienced another issue with my turn signals and brake lights, that was able to be fixed in an evening. I never stopped to ask myself before why the fuse was blown... I found what was suggested that the wires were being rubbed by the clutch arm causing a short to ground, got it wrapped in 3M 33 tape, and popped off the plastic retainer so it could hang away from the clutch arm and all good. Finally, on my longest drive to date I did experience another issue. After driving the car for maybe 5-10 minutes after getting gas, I decided to do a short pull in first gear. At WOT above 3k rpm but well before redline or rev limiter the car just abruptly cut out. Like no power, fell on it's face... scared me a bit when it happened and I immediately let out. Drove fine the rest of the way home. I checked the charge pipe couplers and everything seems connected. The spark plugs are new NGK TR6 gapped at .030, the 02 sensors are new NGK OEM sensors which are the recommended brand. I know I should check fuel pressure at the rail, and data log (I'll be buying an SCT X4 in the next week.) However, any ideas? Seems like a fuel issue to me, the previous owner advised it sat for about a year before I bought it. I do have a new fuel filter I need to install.
