    These are not new Tires. Been around for a few years. Nitto 555R Drag Radials would be what you are looking for.

      You will more than likely have to order them being that very few if any places stock them. I believe they are about 150 a piece.

      The top right area on your screen also has advertisements as to where to get said tires. (Tire Rack, Discount Tire)

            Probably checked your record this year and it's all catching up now. Did you add a bike onto your insurance too?

                Have you tried going on line to your insurance company and seeing what your insurance would be if you didn't have the bike? What insurance company do you have? I would start calling around to different insurance company's and weighing your options. See if having renters insurance would help you any.

                    JJ, what all is on your record? Who's your insurance company? Sounds WAY high to me.

                    I have full coverage on 2 vehicles with $250 deductable on each for around $190/mo.

                      I have 3 vehicles insured and we pay $210 a month. That covers a 99 Altima, 04 Cobra, 04 Silverado.

                      JJ how old are you also. My guess is that has something to do with it. JJ do you owe any money on your car? If so you have to have more then just liability on it.

                        If you are storing the car, take all insurance off it and just leave storage insurance on there.

                          you're in that 25+ bracket though so that doesn't really apply to an ~18 year old

                            i am 18 and my car is payed off. i have 1 speeding 1 unessesary accelaration and 1 u turn ticket. last ticket was the speeding and that was like almost a year ago.

                            today my mom calls me and says to sell my car and get a car for better insurence because today it cost $250 a mounth. my car isnt worth more then 2k so i am keeping it because it isnt worth selling/trading.

                            so i am storing it for a wile.

                            but it makes me mad

                            also that is through my mom so i dont get why it is soooo damn much just for me to hit somebody, why is my car more if they arnt even going to pay for my cars damages?

                              Take all insurance off it, and put it back on if they don't have storage insurance.
