  • The Importance of Tires

    Tires are important! May save your life someday.

    So, do you have crappy tires?

    The stock tires that came with my car are just DANGEROUS. Goodyear Eagle RS-As. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....del=Eagle+RS-A

    If there's water, you go gliding. Ditto for snow/ice.

    I replaced these in my first winter with Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2s: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....ilot+Alpin+PA2
    Excellent tires! Awesome snow tires.

    Last night I replaced my stock summer tires with some Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S for $900: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....t+Exalto+A%2FS

    Also, HUGE improvement.

    What a difference tires make! Exciting.

        That is the reason why in F1 all teams must now have the same manufacturer.

              Bigger maybe, but not wider.

              I ride on 16inch becuase my suspension is freakin hard, so 17inch would make the drive awfully painful. And my cars are for everyday driving as well as track driving.

                  Who cares about girth?

                    Apparently, you do.

                    So do I, but for different circumstances.

                      I'm just making a point of me having better tires and better wheels than you do.

                        I used to use BF goodrich with my truck

                        I admit, I'm using stock tires right now. But I live in an area with no snow/ice. very little rain.

                          With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                            Yea, but I already know what the next one will be. Already planned to buy it in 2 or 3 years tops.

                            I want that Supra since it came out in 93. Hop I can get my hands on a 97 from the US. They stopped selling it in 95 in Canada.

                            :drool:



                            Wait til I get to modify that sweet sweet ride.

                            It comes with 320hp stock. Easily tunnable to 500hp with minor mods, no internal mods needed.

                              Yeah, but the Koenigsegg is borne with 800 hp

                              Well, it has a minor flaws. Since it hasn't a backspoiler it acts like an untamed stallion and the price
