OFFICIAL Yaris SEDAN thread - Toyota Yaris Forums

Okay, since I was a third way into the wear bar on two of my tires and half a mm away from the bars on the other two, I decided to get new tires. I wanted the General Exclaim UHP, and then just repair and powder coat my "Ikari's". But for the same price or less, I found a set of Giovanni G817H with Lexani LX9100's. So since I also wanted a more flush look, as well as something less sporty looking, I picked them up. On to the pics (yeah, I know my car is really dirty, it rained outta no where).

Old rims and dead Falken's weigh in at 38.4 lbs each.

G-Line's with the 100% Lexani tires weigh in at 40.6 lbs each :(

Don't mind my legs and feet :p

Well, this is what happens when you're flush and don't have stretched tires:

Started smelling burning rubber within a mile of driving (total of 4 people in the car), and just drove for about 5 miles total (couldn't turn back right away). I had someone pull up next to me and tell me to roll down my window to say that one of my tires was smoking :(

I'll be taking out the rear hub spacers, and install them only for shows. I'll also be putting some rubber spring spacers in the rear.
