Want to drive mine?
Am in Houston and could use a driver.
Anyone?

 

Why do you need a driver?

 

Getting Tires for the wife's LY Thursday morning...Ready to go...Let's do this....

from houston to SA on Friday
might ride shotgun with my nephew ...he is young and want to spend some time with him,....he is on leave from Iraq

 

yea getting 2 new rears tomorrow for mine as welllll

 

I should be getting a whole new set of tires today... Goodyear Eagle GT's yum

 

am sticking with my tried and true yokohama s drives, they just feeeeeel right

 

Cool, but be aware, grungepup had these and they were gone in 6 months. Mine are twice the age and still have a ton of rubber left after a year and half of abuse.



Can't go wrong with Yokes.

 

9K, so you still have your Eagle GT's? And their doing fine?

 

Oh, uh no sorry I have Hercules Raptis WR-1. 245/40-18, W Rated. friend owns a tire shop, tried them out, fell in love.

these beez the onez weez gettan.....

 

ahh okay well we will see how mine last... They are pro-rated/ tread warranty so we will see how they hold up...

 

Glad he could hook you up man.

 

thanks again for the connect to your friend, how he gets a better deal than mazda's own employees is beyond me but i am grateful he can!!!!

 

No problemo, now you have to buy a SARX decal though.

 

lollllll yea yea okay. will get fri when i get over there, you guys are gonna have to help me pick best place for it tho dammit. lol.

have i ever mentioned how i reallllllly cant stand stickers? of any kind? i have a hard time with them lol. this will be a sacrifice i hope is appreciated!!!! :P

 

I'm not a huge sticker fan myself. As you can tell, I like the clean look. You barely notice the sticker, most think it's stock.

 

Brandon, these are the tires that I can get for $100 each installed (not sure if that is a great deal, but better then $300 for two like I normally would pay)......the ones I was telling you about.

 

I can say I have used these on and off the track (autox) and I have been very impressed. Way better than the bridges-tones I paid an arm and a leg for that lasted less than a year. I know Grungepup is not overly impressed with his Pilot Sport 2's, good thing he didn't pay retail at $230.00 a piece for them.

Will I run them when I have track only wheels? No, but fro $800.00 I can get two sets of 245/40-18's mounted and balanced.

I have had better dry traction tires but these are great all around, wet, dry, cold, whatever.

 

yea that does look sharp

 

i will NEVER.... NEVER buy the top of the line, most expensive tires ever again.......

I bought a set of Eagle GT II's with the LS5's, one only lasted 7k miles, rotated them every 3k. The seller denied the warranty because he said it was due to suspension issues, but when he put it on the alignment rack, it came back with in tolerances and still denied it because he couldn't explain why only 1 ran down the way it did. I then put on a set of 255/45 Michelin Pilot Sports on the rear that had seen some considerable track time and they lasted a good while considering, and had awesome grip. I now have a set of 225/45 pilot sports, but they dont look like the same type i had on before and handle for ****, i very loose.

 

i think ive changed my mind on the 'good-for-a-year' tires. i was looking at the eagle gt's well. the consensus is that they dont last very long.

i'm replacing my tires this summer. time for something all season and long lasting since my 8's track and autocross days are over.

looking at the pilot sport a/s plus. they seem to be fantastic

 

you cant beat the hercules ones that 9k posted earlier for the price

 

hey where is everyone getting together on friday and what time, i can goo for one day
plz pm me or text me

 

Guess what?.... I can make it~! Woohoo.... never thought that would happen. I will be staying at my home sweet home. Driving in from DC with a friend in his Speed3.

Whos ready for some crazy bitches on Friday?
