Buying Falken's - Need Input

Im purchasing a set of Falken Koblenz Black w/ Chrome lip

19 x 8.5
and they come with tires... Im getting all 4 rims w/ the tires for $1500 (brand new)

my question is the tires they come with... they are Federal SS595
and like the prices on thsoe tires are pretty cheap.. I'm wondering if these will be fine on my car???

Thanks

im sure they'll fit. theyre not good tires - but they won't ruin your car or anything.

post a link to the rims/tires.

Not much info on that page.. but if you click the tire image it says SS595 -- should I try to stretch the cash and get better tires? will there be much of a diff between these and some other tires?? Im real short on cash and I just fucked two of my rims up so I'm trying to get this done quickly..

Thanks =]

i like how that ebay page gives you no details on the tire. i wonder what the width/profile is.
how much can you get those rims for without tires?

Whether a tire is good for you or not depends on your driving style and what you value.

If you have the option of getting better tires, definately get better tires. Have you looked at whats available from reputable vendors like tirerack, discount tire direct, edge racing, etc? These places will help you if you have problems after you get them. Generally I wouldn't bother doing business with anyone else if I couldnt meet up with person to do the transaction in person. That way you know what you're getting.

this is excellent advice, or you could learn the hard way and waste your money...
