Thanks Dondo...Love you too :'(

 

 

^you going to meet on 1/29?

 

we shall see but i was planning on a dyno that day. :-/

 

same here but if it is not happening then you going? either way I am rolling up.

 

yeah as long as i'm in town i can

 

YAY I get to meet PDX! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

I know All I can say about these tires, is that they are sticky as hell!! The tire dude say that some EVO's have been coming in and buying them to track with. huh??

 

Did you buy them at Costco?

 

I don't think all tread wear grades can be taking too seriously. A lot of it comes down to marketing. This is just a grade given by each manufacturer, not the DOT.

I believe the OEM RE040's were 140, and my KDW2's were 300. My RE040's were shot by 16K. The tire tech though I was crazy going to the KDW2's because they felt much softer and stickier, and he thought I would get much less life out of them. I told him the wear ratings and he didn't seem surprised, but still thought I'd wear them out faster. Really there wasn't that much difference in the wear. The KDW2's were probably worn to the same level by 18K, then I drove them 4K more 'till they were bald (because they didn't feel as crappy as the Potenzas and the weather was still okay).

 

My KDW2s lasted 25k. I drive approx. 7.5k per so they last way too long for me

 

Gas prices jumping for you guys up north? I noticed today on the way home from work prem is now $3.41.

 

..yea costco. They need some nice matte black deeeeep dish flats spoke wheels


that reminds me - I also need an alignment tweak

 

paid 3.31 for prem at chrevon yesterday. im 30 minutes east of olympia. and they say its supposed to get higher

what does everyone think of these? i like the all matte black look. my car is sunlight silver with tinted windows so i think they would look pretty sweet.
anyone running them?

 

I really like those rims, roto!

Nemesis, I paid 3.53 at Chevron on the way to work.

 

Hi. I'm Nate, and I ruin tires!!



dude... this is number 4 now??? i think you're doin it wrong....

 

+1!

 

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo foxey took to long to reply....

-1 for you! :'(

 

those will look awesome man!

lol!!!!!

 

i love those wheels! they are mine just waiting till spring time. no sense in getting them in the middle of the winter...

 

Wheels look good! Specs? If the weather is good on 1/29 then you should mount them for the meet.

 

im going to custom order some 18x9 with a +25 offset, keep the stock 225/40/18 tires, slam it on H&R coilovers, roll the fenders. so it should be pretty sweet with the stretched tires and i am hoping for a pretty flush fitment, if it isnt flush enough then i will get some wheel spacers

 

My buddy David is selling 20mm and 15mm spacers.

 

tahnks but i can get them through work.
