Hydroplained into a Gaurd Rail
This just shows that when your tires are showing baldness, that means that you need tires..don't wait! I have to replace my front bumper and i need to replace the plastic piece that covers the raditor. Alwayz something..

Time to buy that new Cwest front end! hehehe :D
Sorry to hear about it :( |
raven,
...been there.....done that :( . except i went thru the median backwards into the other lanes of oncoming traffic on the local interstate. luckily there was no one coming -- it was about midnight at the time. i jammed the brakes while i was going thru the median so when i hit the pavement it would hopefully pick up some traction & slow me down -- it did and spun me around and i hit the guard rail with my back-end. i had slowed down a good bit when i hit the pavement, so the damage wasn't that bad -- busted tail-light and a little damage to the bumper & quarter panel. it was under $1000 total parts/labor/paint, etc. i think a bulk of the bill was that replacement tail-light :) ....and yes -- the tires were BALD. just trying to get the most out of the original tires. i got 34k miles out of the original/stock Bridgestones. i thought that was pretty good for a Z-rated tire :) needless to say, the next stop after i got it out of the shop was to get new tires for it. ...hydropaning SUCKS....especially when you start to spin. all you can do is hold on & enjoy the ride :) |
I hear you R1 --- spinning backwards isn't fun
|
the second day i had my fd, i slid at about 50mph in a curve and barly missed the sidewalk. it was raining and i was new to all this hp as well as a manual. it scared the sh*t out of me! my tires were pretty good so it also shows you what happens when you have more hp then your tires can handle.
|
more hp than your tires could handle or more hp than you could handle? heheh, j/k.
Picking up my FD this weekend, lets hope I'm not posting again in this thread next week! :) K |
Were all 4 tires bald or F or R only? Just curious. My back ones were a little older and I have since moved them to the front to even out the wear. I had a loss of rear traction due to wetness once and it's fine since.

bald tires on the back

I thought you said you just bought those rims/tires? :confused:
