  1. I called the next morning, and the guy I spoke to was really irritating. He kept saying that the 31s would tear of my fenders. Everytime I asked for the tires, he would repeat it. I kept insisting sarcasticly, that I wanted my fenders torn off. Before we hung up, he said, "Come down, we'll tear off your fenders." "Okay then, I'll be down."

     

    I went down but, I ended up keeping my 30s. Why? Since I already worked my last day. I need to keep as much money in my account as possible for my little family till I get to San Diego and start a new job. Thirty extra dollars would shrink my account. I know I could use that or gas for the trip. For my trip, I just spent money on new brakes. My brakes were about 2-3 CDs thick and was scratching my rotars. I got new rotars because of that. Then new tires, since it was bald.

     

    Oh well, I'll be getting the 31s for my next set. Hopefully I could afford them. Living on a budget blows.

  2. I went back to Discount Tire and the guy that was selling me 31s wasn't there. I asked for them (31s), but they kept on telling me it was going to rub. I was really desperate for tires, since my Forteras were really bald and I'm traveling to San Diego. Frustrated as I was, I went ahead and got the 30s. I really don't feel satisfied, I still think 31s would fit nicely. Oh well, I hope these last long enough to make some cash for the next set.

  3. Hi Guys,

    I'm new to the forum, but I saw the Mileage Poll, and had to add my response.

    As of this morning, I have 473,687 on my 1994 XE.

    Original engine. Leaks more oil from the valve cover gaskets, than it burns.

    I'm on my second transmission. The first one went out around 380,000.

    No other major parts have been changed.

    Other info:

    I'm on my 7th timing belt.

    8th set of tires.

    5th set of brakes.

    3rd waterpump.

    4 set of fog/driving lights. (just can't keep from catching a rock!)

    4th set of spark plugs.

    3rd windshield.

    100+ oil changes. Oh, and my second drain plug!

     

    I constantly amaze people with the mileage, and the great condition the car is in.

    When this one finally dies, I'm pretty sure I'll be getting another Nissan.

    holy cow! that's the most miles i heard of one of these things having... :beer:

     

    let's see some pix!

    Ha! The most miles I've heard of.. PERIOD!

  4. The 31" Dominators were from Discount Tire. I went to Costco to see if there were any cheaper tires. I asked them about 31s and they said they wouldn't mount them if it was reccomended. I guess I'm going with Discount Tire.

  5. Same problem I'm having cept, mine is when I move forward. About it being the brakes, I doubt that. Wouldn't it only squeal if I were pressing on it? But I do have some scraping sound when I "reverse" and press on the brakes. I'm about due for an oil change. I might as well take a look.

  6. I have a 98 SE, and have 31X10.50 on mine. They fit great. Only at extreme right turns does it rub. I am not sure if there is a wheel well size difference between the SE and the XE.

    I might be getting some of those. Dominators, I think Cooper makes them. You getting good gas mileage?

  7. Its a 1997, will they still do it? Any dealer? I'm not really sure where this Pathy was bought. I bought it from some doctor. It used to be his wifes, but hes getting her an Infiniti. If I remember correctly it was somewhere in Oklahoma where they came from. Probably where it was purchased too.

     

    Well its locked and been locked. Won't budge.

  8. Well, I have help the driver side and front passenger belts. Doesn't really bother me since its already a habbit but it would be nice to not have to. I just found out that one of me rear belts are not even coming out. I think I might have to open the panel which I have no idea how difficult is, but I guessing, very.

  9. I usually searh for Toyota AE-86 parts as that is my main luv.

     

    I may be a Nissan fan, but couldyou post some pics of your Corolla?

     

    Let me know when your in San Diego again and maybe we can hook up.

     

    I'll be moving to San Diego sometime in March. I'll be staying up the hill from the Coors Amphitheater. Closest main street would be Main Street (Chula Vista) off of the 805. Hope you're near by. There's a couple of junk-yards nearby. One down the street and one further up the street. :) See you soon.

  10. My front passenger window is much slower than the my side. I sometimes forget to hold the button a few seconds longer and leave the truck with a cracked window freely allowing the Las Vegas dust to enter. I'm not sure if its because of the accident that slow it down since or if its just slow.

     

    I think I'm going to give it a try and lubricate it some. Where do I spray?

    These are my tires as of right now. They're pretty bald so try and picture them brand new. B) If these are 30s will 31s fit without trimming? What's better for gas mileage 30s or 31s?
