    Alignment Question

    A few months ago, I got a set of Ford C Springs installed. Didn't think I would need alignment. When I put my winter tires on last week, found that inside of both front tires are bald. I believe treadwear has been pretty even before now. I'm traveling this week, so I decided to get a quick...

    General Exclaim UHP Tires: Opinions?

    How long you had the KDW2s? How come you didn't get Michelins? My stock Gatorbacks cost more per tire than any of those (including my Pirellis) and they sucked, so I think you have to take into account more than just the price tag.

    What's your age?

    36 year old IT guy...I remember when the operating system fit on a 5 1/4 inch floppy disk. Not old enough to remember punch cards though.

    General Exclaim UHP Tires: Opinions?

    I tend to agree...my Dad had Michelin Pilot Sport A/S on his 2000 Mustang GT Conv. I drove it a few times so I was able to compare with my Pirellis...didn't think the Michelins were worth $85 more per tire.

    So you want to get a Terminator?

    Are any modern cars engineered to do burnouts or cruise @ 130 mph? I doubt it.

    Do cops just hate us?

    Same here...I dodged a bullet this morning. Doing 40+ in a 25 in passed a cop head on. My radar detector went nuts, but there was nobody in front of me. He hit his brakes, looked at me, and kept on going. The only ticket I've had in the last 5 years was in the company car...a sh|t box...

    I need a new set of summer tires and these are rated really high on Tirerack. They are really cheap...$81 per. Anybody have experience with these? I got a set of snow tires for winter. When I took my regular tires off, I noticed they were about shot. They are Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S...

    Which tire size did you go with? I got Blizzak Revo 1 in 215/60/16...I think.

    Give me one good reason

    Reason I bought my Pro 5.0 was that I was missing third alot when shifting fast. Haven't missed it since. I thought that the only reason to get an aftermarket shifter was to shift faster, more accurately than stock.

    Winter Tires?

    You need fronts to stop and to steer. I wouldn't buy a used set off ebay though. I just bought a set and read articles saying these things only last 3-4 seasons. Also, the outer 55% of the tire has the real "ice grabbing" rubber. The last 45% is designed for snow, but not ice. So, if you...

    Electronic PCV Valve?

    I found the same thing when I replaced mine. The guy at the counter said "they must be really proud of this one".

    Snow tires w/steel wheels question

    Good, cause wheel covers look like crap and I like the road warrior look of the steelies.

    Snow tires w/steel wheels question

    I got a set of snow tires mounted on steel wheels. Should I get a set of wheel covers to protect wheel lugs from water, salt, etc? Not too worried about the look...kinda liking the look as they are. Anybody know what kind of metal the wheel lugs are made of?

    Winter driving: How much weight should I put in the trunk?

    I've got Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S and last year I put 200lbs on the floor in the back seat. That worked better than putting it in the trunk. Still was not fun. I'd recommend you get a set of snow tires. If I could do it again, I woulda bought a set of wet/dry tires and a set of snow tires...
