does or has any one have/had spoogeo tires? im gunna need to get new tires when i get home and spoogeos are very reasonable. i haven heard any thing about them or their quality so i was just wonder ing if i would be wastin my money on tire that ill have to re place again and it not being as cheap as buying different tire now
I have spoogeo tires on my bird 245-45-17 and they have been good so far, i good buddy of mine ran at least 35000km with the ones he had on his Mustang before he sold the wheels they were on and they still looked pretty good then! No flats or rebalancing etc. I think they are a heck of a bargain when you start comparing tire prices. It doesnt hurt so much when you leave 1000km piles of rubber laying around from burnouts on a regular basis. I wouldnt hesitate.
mile please i use standard and dont feel like learning metric. i just cheat on my sci and math test.
evn though i dont know what those number mean it sound like a good tire. thanks
anyone else. i want to have as many opinions as possible.
good tires, had a set on my 80, never had a problem, and the snow tires kicked ass in the winter. A million times better than canadian tire tires...
your from canada too! what do those numbers mean?
Theyre the tire size Width/Height/Rim If you look on your tires sidewall it'll tell you what your current size is.

And tires are done the same way here as in Canada from what I've seen, metric tread and sidewall with English rim size:

Better at least learn to deal with the metric system in some kind of way, you are not isolated from it and will have to use it more and more as the years go by. Don't be ignorant, it's not that hard to figure out.
Khumo makes alot of good race tires and does a fair amount of performance tire stuff as well.
What size are you looking for? What type of use? I like Sumintomos for my daily drivers. Decent tires at a decent price.
Personally, I don't buy any tires but spoogeho. Ive been running them for years on mini-trucks, compacts, & a camaro. They wear very good. I prefer the 712 over the 711. Right now I have 711's on my cavalier. But either of those performance tires are great.
i have run two sets of 711's(one i still have and will be goin on the TC soon), one set of thier mud tire, and jus bought a set of thier AT tire for my ranger. after my current set of 711's is done, i am lookin at the MX's.
nuthin but good to say about em, and will be buyin more next time i need tires.
....And we wonder why the world is pissed off at America......
not the tire size number im not retarded! the metric number for miles. what does the km transfer to in miles.
thats right those kids now day all the think but is money gamblin and shag. Americas gone to hell. back in my day.....
you sound like your 102. tell me you learned every thing you need to (according to the school) and you never cheated on the thing you didnt remember.
It's so easy to figure out it's ridiculous.
1.) Go to http://WWW.GOOGLE.COM
2.) In the search bar type this: 35000km in Miles
3.) Google's super-smart computer-brain will realize you're asking for a conversion. The next page displayed will give you your answer.
Stupid every-other-country-in-the-world using some stupid metric system that's based on 10's... that will never catch on.
i want to go to a 245/ 55/ 16 put thouse don't exists so im going to a 245/50/16 or a 235 /50/16 on ponies. i want to use them all the time my car is a dd and i dont do good with rain hint two accidents so a tire that is good in rain would help. snow would b a plus but i will probily get a diffenert set when that time comes.
Driving skill in the rain will probably help avoid accidents too.
i is not willin to doo n-y of my own reseerch for my own qeustion just figur it out for me i come out of the woodwork wit al dis bad grammar kause i is da koolest
first one not my car lil POS toyota camay. i dont do fwd. i cant correct them from a skid, my fault took blame/resonsiblity for all damage and fixed it all now im in debt. and the second one was a driver error on the other side that i had little time to react and i hit them so my falt by law and it was a firetruck so the cop didnt believe a word i said. and now im farther in debt. more or less experance than griving skillskill
i do good in school i just dont care about it that much now i had an a in English last sem. and i am the coolest i mean im the only guy around my town that could pimp in a cougar with a primer front.
Poor Grammar
Not correcting for your run on sentences even.
when the hell did this fourm become english class. shiznit if i want to be corrected for every thing i said/typed wrong i would go talk to my little sister or go back to school for summerschool. !
We don't usually nitpick at grammar too much, but we do kindly ask people to take better care in thier writing when it becomes hard to understand what the person is trying to say.
my stuff was pretty clear wasn't it?
i miss spelled kuhmo on the title everyon forgot that and everyone read that for sure when they clicked on it
Or you can go to google and type this
the answer to life, the universe, and everything
Google's super-smart computer-brain will realize your're asking for the meaning of life and give you the answer.
by the way, I am not kidding try it for yourself.
but seriously I want to know as much about these tires before i invest. any sugggestions on with tire? and will my tire choice be too wide in the front if i drop it bout2"
If I sound like I'm 102 maybe it's because I can spell and perform basic math. Seems you always have a little attitude every time you post too. I appreciate the fact that you want to learn about your car and want to do things to it to make your own. That's why we're all here. You could slow down a little when you type and maybe learn how to multiply kilometers by 0.62 to get miles......
A 235 tire is fine. It's what I use. On a car you're talkin about driving in rain and snow I feel a 2 inch drop is extreme.
Ah, you prefer American measurements. Fine. Is your engine the 38.886 Jacks, the 61677.8 Minims, or the .14499 Firkins version?
I have Kuhmo 711's Cheapest ass tire I could buy. I love them.
245/55/16 is too big anyway.
245/50/16 is a perfect plus zero tire
I am lowered about 2 inches. and I want it a tad higher.
ER GETER DONE WOOHOO YEP
Can someone translate all for me ?!?!?!
Of course, I had a good experience with spoogeho tires, i was using a 235 65 14, very good, bought at sears , i dont know how i got rid of these tires...........mmm. yeah, dad totaled the car....
If you are planning to buy new tires, check Pirellli or Michelin too, those are pretty good....
Ahhh, learning something new every day...
1 minim (min) = 61.612 µL
61 677.8 * 61.612 ul = 3 800 092.61 , this is for the 3.8 L ?
1 firkin = 40.9148269 liters
.14499*40.9148269 = 5.9321 mmmm...i dont know how to get it. Correct this to me...
The jacks, took me more time, ill give a try...
Jigger X 2 = the Jack or Jackpot (sometimes a double jigger)
Mouthful X 2 = Jigger (The common bartender jigger is not one ounce, but 1.5 ounce)
Mouthful = about ½ Ounce
1 fluid ounce = 0.028413 0625 l
ok, here we go...
the half of an ounce, estimated: 0.028413 0625 liters / 2 =
mouthful 0.0142
Jigger = 0.0284 (limited to four digits after the point)
Jackpot = 0.0284*2 = 0.0568
38.886 Jackpots * 0.0568 = 2.2087 liter.....i gues this is for the 2.3 liters...
EDIT
hey, there are 2 definitions about firkins, let me try again...
Firkin = 9 gallons, 34.069 liters
.14499 Firkins * 34.099 l = 4.936 liters..... yeah, this is the 5 liter engine...
michelin and Pirelli are expensive and i am broke but every set of Michelins my dad has had have been great. i reall what to know what tread pattern youll think would be best
i dont have an attitude everytime i post but when you get ripped on about stupid shiznit for 2 pages it gets old if some one could have told me haw to do it i would have. but no one did and i dont remember. you are reading this in what ever tone you pick so if i have an attitude or am just been a 16 year old smart ass is the decision you make in you mind when you see my name at the top of the post. its in your head if i have an attitude or not. is it that big of a deal?
That blackjack guy is like 16 and he doesn't have a problem with posting with good grammar....
With your old cougar you don't have to worry about tread pattern. Your car cannot take advantage of the benefits each tire has over each other... just buy the 711's as they are cheap.... plus they have a shagy directional pattern that gives me a wood when I look at my car from the back.....
Try visiting tirerack.com (http://"http://www.tirerack.com").
Not only do they have a large selection of tires, including Kuhmos, but they have tons of user reviews and detailed information on the tire. Go there first.
Oh yeah?
:)
my grammer isnt because im 16 its because im not good at spelling or typing. does anyone have a problem with me short comings? i just wanted to know about some tires and look what happens ( me being a smart ass for those who can tell the difference)
My advice would be to A) cut the , and B) bookmark a page like this so you don't make a fool of yourself next time around asking for measurements you can convert yourself in just as much time as it takes to make a stink over someone not giving you measurements "in American".
http://www.sciencemadesimple.com/conversions.html
Dude, we aren't trying to be dicks... at least not total dicks. The spelling was a secondary thing, it's the laziness that you wouldn't go search for a conversion tool that pissed most people off. You've gotta realize we have a LOT of members on this board from Canada, one from Mexico and probably others from other countries too.
another dude from poland if I remember correctly?
*edit*
Shevretti, of course! :)
was that all you guys wanted to say? just say it be blut with me i dont care i just want to enjoy this forum like everyone else. i dont care if you come off as a total dick when you say something to me i just want to learn or get more info about my car. seriously just say what you what to say and i will take it as it comes. im not been a smart ass im am serious about this shiznit i understand i could have done it myself but i didnt. sorry next time ill try to figure the shiznit out and post something to see if its right. how bout that is thaer any other areas i need to address? oh and i want pissed cause the didnt give me measurements in standard i was just asking for them which i now know not to do.
and if anyone care now after about 6 post of info on the tires and 4 pages of i am going to get kuhmo tire when i get home and have the money. does any one know how long the have been around im going to try and look it up but was just wondering if anyone knew off the top of there head
Dude ! What the **** does that say!? Post your shiznit into Microsoft Word before posting here! That last sentance took me atleast 4 try's to figure out what the hell you were saying!
Not tring to be an ass man, but sometimes it becomes a little too much with the bad grammar.
Buy the Kuhmo's, go to tire rack and read all the raving reviews on them if needed.
i like to take big bites of cheese right of the block
:locked: this someone
Yeah, you guys need to calm down. We are turning into mp3car.com. They will ban someone for not being able to spell computer, or carputer which isnt even a real word. We all need to just roll our eyes and get one with life.
spoogeHO HISTORY
http://www.spoogehousa.com/About/History.asp
Too many H's. You're banned! :D
As pointed out, it is difficult to read your posts.
I still think it's funny how only a few people spelled spoogeho right, yet everyone busting cougar86_89's balls about his spelling and grammar issues can't seem to get it right.
To try and keep things on subject, I have heard nothing but good things about spoogeho. All the minitrucker guys I hang out with all use them and when I was at the Norwalk highschool nationals there were alot of people running them. Plus the guys at Norwalk passed out spoogeho keychains to everyone that raced:D .
Ha! Can't believe I did that! cum - HO!
i suck at grammer and type there its over thank for the tire if info and the ripping everyone need a good ball busting every once in a while
I'll give you one thing. At least you are a good sport about it! I think we can let him stick around guys as long as he makes an attempt to write in a way that does not require translation into english.
Oh, and I hope you enjoy your new Sukiyaki tires. :D
Yeah, man, I guess your ok. Here's something, if you don't wanna piss with typing everything 100% grammatically correct (which I don't do, either). Try separating your throughts or questions or thoughts with separate lines. If you're asking a 2-for-1 question or something, just hit that enter key a couple times...
Just like that. I even do that so it's clear that I'm asking more than one question. It'd be doing us a favor and you'll get better responses to all the questions you ask.
I think the fact that you've stayed through all the abuse, it means you're the kinda person we like here. You even said in an earlier post that you're just here to enjoy the forum and learn about your car and that's exactly what it's about.
that my problem i think to fast and type to slow ( advanced chicken pecking) thats with tw finger sometime three. i dont look at the screen till im done typing a sentance.
