    Need new springs, need advice

    I went with the Mazdaspeed springs. They gave me a slightly bigger wheel gap on the fronts than on the rear, but i'm ok with it.

    Mazda Protege Owner Photos

    I literatelly just bought my (first) car, I've had it for only 2 hours. However, the tires have little thread left in them. I'm running on the stock Protege ES wheels and stock tyre size with stock suspension. Could anybody enlighten me on tyre choice? I would like to have a little more meat. I...
