Added a few more in there ;)

Goodyears?

They almost look like my Nexens, except for the center line, which are junk...

I would never buy Nexans. They're Sumitomo HTRZ II's. A little loud but cornering grip is pretty awesome

I learned my lesson. I'm getting the KDW2s next time like I planned to. They look good, how do the launch? These lovely jewels spin a bit at 40 now, only a few months old... :rolleyes:

They seem a whole lot better than the bald Eagles. However, it's cold out so traction sucks. I may have to drop some pressure tonight if that 2v mustang wants to run from a dig again ;)


How do you guys like the bowties? I'm debating whether I like the chrome around the edges or not.

lol, my balding Potenzas were better than these are now, the first month they were great, but after the initial break-in traction has just gotten worse, regardless of temp.

Leave the chrome edges, they match the rest of the car. :)

We'll see how these do. I've read pretty good reviews on them online but only time will tell. Now I just need to get it dropped down so I'm not four wheel driving all the time lol

Nice shoes man!!

They look good, I love my new BFG's, don't look as good as yours though. How did you get the clear part of the bowtie off without messing the chrome part up?

Petroleum jelly anything you don't want it to stick to.

So you didn't take the clear part off, you just painted over the top of it or what?

I sprayed taillight tint over the emblem.

I just got a new set of Firestone Firehawk GT's (I needed something that would be semi-decent in the snow)... and HOLY CRAP! what an upgrade from the Badyear RSA's. The car is now silent again at speed and much smother over bumps. The only complaint I have is body roll is now more noticeable with the extra grip.

Nice... i'm going to try this, where'd you get the spray... and damn i need some new tires. Starting to hate mine...

Good Looking tires.
I went with the BFG KDW's. Big improvement over the stockers. In the rain especially.

Love the rebel flag.

Oreilly's


Love the rebel flag.

Confederate Battle Flag ;)

those are some nice KICKS

What size did you go with?

What size did you go with?

245/40

Wish I had wider and taller but I ordered the wrong size lol

Oh damn, 40 series is small! I have a set of 245/40's for track use and it killed my traps

Probably have to shift into 3rd too soon. Smaller tire=steeper final drive ratio.

Yeah, real soon! I think it shifted into 3rd at around 93-94mph rather than 100.

Love the rebel flag.

<<<Blows off some steam

.......Hehe I got an Empire State flag on the top of my back glass:). Makes the car look official.....Now I need my Push Bar:):):)
