- i used to have a friend that worked at pep-boys and we would just go in the used tire shed and clean them out every friday.We got caught one time when some lady called the cops on us and i said "what? You're gonna arrest me for stealing garbage tires that they have to pay to get rid of?" we got off , but i wasn't even worried about it, and if you were sneaky enough you could probably do the same.

dude, i laughed hard for like 2 minutes about lavender scented tires... thats hilarious. for drifting, so you get madd adrenaline rush, but just enough lavender to keep your head cool. makes perfect performance sense (scents? (bad pun))

Lol nice pun. I couldnt believe it either when I saw them in the Tire Rack magazine. It says the scent lasts for a year and gets stronger when the tires are warm. The scent must be CRAZY strong if you did a bunrout with them. I'm hoping they make strawberry scented tires next.

Question does anybody know if its alright to run a stretch tire on an OEM wheel? The company and size that I want for these OEM wheels nobody carries. The size is 215/65/14 but I wanna run a 195/60 or 65/14 does anybody know if thats alright? These are my drift sets so its not like im gonna drive around town on these things.

you can do that, it shouldn't be a problem. I mean, I would test a tire first and see if it holds up, but, from what I've experienced, it should flow together just as well as if you ran the 215s. The only time you're going to see problems is if you're running like mega wide tires and try to put on some skinny-minnies.
