Forced to buy new rims and tires today
Well it's becomming to big of a problem and most likey dangerous with my current wheels and tires.
The tires are almost 5 years old, still have around 5/32 to 4/32 of tread left, but the sidewalls are all cracking and looking pretty bad, so to avoid a blowout, it's time. Tires don't owe me nothing, almost 50,000 miles on them, the longest I've ever had tires last on ANY car I've owned. 2nd longest would be the lettered BFG's I had on my Cougar and I drove like an ahoe back then. Flooring it at every light.
The rims are gone too. The one rim is all rotted and corroded inside, causing the massive air leak (40 psi to 13 psi in 3 days in 60* weather) I looked around for a replacement Kazera rim but couldn't find one. Besides if the one is that bad, what does that say for the other 3 and why pay all that money on used rims.
So I ordered everything from Summit. Also ordered the hub rings and I have an old set of lug nuts that fit these wheels 
I'm getting these tires: Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus (Suppose to be the next step up to the Exalto's I have on the car now, they don't make them in my size anymore anyway)
And these rims: Raceline 126 in Mirror Black

I think so, the Exalto's got me out of 2 feet of snow with NO problems, much to the disgust of my neighbor digging out his stuck in 1 foot of snow Land Rover
