Mike,

I have had the tires for about 4 days so far, and just driving the car around and pushing it the tires don't seem to even consider losing traction. I have yet to seriously push these tires to the limit just yet (but hopefully sometime soon).

I figure once i get some good coilovers and do some suspension/alignment parts, i can maximize the potential too.

Question: Are FD Fenders steel or aluminum? (just a curiosity).

Got a new DD last night, 09 accord coupe. Crystal Black with black leather. V6, 6speed. Been waiting for a 6mt since Jan 5th.........paid invoice woo hoo. Wanted the blue but I would've had to wait till after the tax and license increase so black it is.

The next time I post on this thread I hope to have a FD before independence day.

It's tough to say as my car is a little loud too. But, yeah i do think there is a little road noise. I can give a ride next time i see you.

That looks so clean. Not many white s4's that look great in my book, but yours is probably one of my favorites.

Tire rack was having a sale + 50 bucks rebate if you buy 4. Came out to 6xx something after all said and done (w/ rebate). Not a bad deal at all considering the caliber of tire and i already love them.
Dope! I like this style of tire. $600. Damn that's a crap load o dough. So many things I can do with $ like that.

Are you running any negative camber? I might have to fall back a lil on the style dept and go positive on my front's...the tire wear is driving me crazy.

The only other comparable tire was the bridgestone potenza RE-11 or the Advan AD07 or A048. Both were over 220 a tire, and from the reviews these perform just as good at a smaller fraction of the price. Falken Azenis RT615 sizes in 17 are somewhat limited too (i was hoping to get 615s because my father is doing a consulting project for falken)

I will double check my alignment specs (i have shitty memory).

It was also the reason i went with 245s and 9 inch wide all the way around too. GT-Rs have a natural tendency to wear the front insides faster, so rotating them around is a little easier.

Hah... I just got my * specs mounted a few days ago as well. These things are amazing. Easily the best street tires I've driven on. I can't wait to try them out this weekend at the time attack

Go look up the price of 325/25/20 tires on tirerack then get back to me about a lot of dough. I've got an 1100-1200 dollar rear tire setup to save up for soon.

Wow, that bike is so hip! No brakes, huh? Great pics.

I bought my gf a Bianchi for her bday last month, the modest Milano Parco, but this is really something!

Why are fixed gears so popular now? Doesn't it suck going up tiny little hills and stuff?
