yes i do

ditches the dip flat part in the middle and rounds it out, ditches the holes. looks cleaner, less ricey. the front bumper on the AAS kit is the one thing I don't really like all the way...

Ah, eff. The guy who's selling the Hoosiers and rims is in Holland, MI.

A drive like that makes you appreciate a sound system. Oh wait you're a racer..

I've driven over there for a car show once. Wasn't worth it.

I've also driven 11 hours round trip one day to pick up my body kit.

The west half of michigan is infinitely boring. Anything past ann arbor is just, meh.

uh 22.5" is way too small, it's gonna throw your gear ratio all to shit.....

should be closer to 26"

something like this, now that's what you and I need

Haha I didn't even look at how the inches converts to standard tire measurement.

My current tires are 25.1 inches in diameter. 22.5 inches would be a big drop.

Oh well. I'll pick up some BFG Drag Radials sometime when I have some money.

go hoosiers!

CactusWill · 03-11-2009, 11:58 PM

KDWs meaning, KDW's, or kdws ?

[ion] C2 · 03-12-2009, 12:01 AM

Woops I meant Drag Radials. I already have KDW tires.

[ion] C2 · 03-12-2009, 12:02 AM

I rocked these all through winter.

CactusWill · 03-12-2009, 12:12 AM

Or just dumb... I can hardly get out of the driveway on Eagle F1s in the snow.

CactusWill · 03-12-2009, 02:51 AM

Goodyears are the worst... garbage. I could spin em in 3rd gear on dry road

Cliff8928 · 03-12-2009, 03:00 AM

I have no issues with the "F1" goodyear tires. This goes for the F1 GS-D3, F1 All-Season and F1 Supercar.

Even the stock Eagle GAs on the Alero weren't that bad for what they were.

All my bad experiences were with BFGs.

CactusWill · 03-12-2009, 03:13 AM

Opposite for me. Goodyears always sucked big penor, and the BF's always held tight. On cars AND motorcycles.

[ion] C2 · 03-12-2009, 09:38 AM

The BFGs in dry and wet conditions are amazing... in snow, in which they are neither designed nor recommended for whatsoever, they are horrible. Took me so long to get to 30 MPH one day when we got hit with snow. I could not take off worth shit.

kwhauck · 03-12-2009, 10:13 AM

i'm excited for the new nitto nt-05, i've heard really good things about them......and at only $140 a tire, not a bad price at all.....
