Yea, I've heard they are pretty bad for performance but for price and how long they last, I don't think they can be beat.

Yes.. That is true.. They do last a lifetime, but they scare me at times because the car gets loose when I don't expect it too because of the lack of grip...

ive become like an expert in the rain...the only time i spun coming home from work was at one stop light, where i was like in a puddle of water....and on the way home, some little ricer miata was trying to egg me on to race him. the sad thing was that he probably would have one, i could hear his turbo :noes:

You know what sucks?

275/40's on ice.

I put my rims back on a few weeks ago because the snow melted. Well the Minnesota weather decided to be gay a week ago and it snowed again leaving a ton of ice on the road. I made 5 of my 6 stops. The one I missed was on a hill and I kept sliding. Had to go down and come back up, lol.

And . . all of that said . . we here at SN95Forums are a very accepting, inclusive, community.

So . . . its okay if you're a flaming homosexual.  Fly your fag flag proudly!  We won't judge you.

That is the same set I rented from a mom and pop shop. The Autozone I went to only had this pos.
WTF is that thing? Pandora's box?
