Hey Guys,
As I'm nearing completion of my fuel system resto on my teener...I'm faced with the choice of tires, as the first stop for me is going to be discount tire for a balancing; as the car shimmies when I get around 65 mph, then a trip to gashead motorworks for an alignment, as it pulls to the right. I was thinking, since I'm at DT, mayhaps I should put some new shoes on there. I HATE the tires on the teener, they are 185 65 R15's from god knows who...they say HR metric. They have ZERO grip and I've almost spun the car twice because of their utter lack of traction...and my utter lack of skill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/owned.gif) I'd like some recommendations from you guys...I was thinking of some Falken Azenis in 205 50 r 15's, but I've found on here that they are so small the engine is really revved up on the highway, and I would like to take the car to galveston a few times, and screaming engines on the highway would get annoying, as houston highway speeds are in the 80's. Any recommendations for me that DONT involve flares, 5 lugs, or prayers to Ra, god of the sun? Having a somewhat accurate speedo would be nice... I'm running stock 15X5.5 Mahle's with a 2 inch drop. This car is unlikely to see a whole lot of track time until I put my dual 40's on it... |

I'm sorry I created a pissing match...I just wanted some advice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I hope you guys can find your way to bury the hatchet here. Purple there is no pissing match here....it is words typed on a keyboard, no facial expressions, no verbal tense, no hand gestures, just a group of guys having a grown-up conversation, some agreeing, some disagreeing, some neutral. To disagree is not bad, it is good! Do not ever feel like you cannot speak your mind or stand up for what you believe, especially here. I spent 16 years in the military defending this right of ours and I know all too well that if one lets themself be pushed around and talked down to it only gets worse for them. Believe me, there are a few members here that I am convinced would commit murder if they had a chance in hell to get away with it -- Take this conversation for what it is WORTH! Here you have a group of guys telling it like it is. Even better, you and everyone else has a guy affiliated with tire manufacture and proclaims that cheap = poor quality and a guy affiliated with evaluating these same tires on a continuinig basis and letting all know that you CAN get very high quality for less than most!!- it does not get any better than this dude. Plus you have others chiming in about thier chosen skins -even better This is prime opportunity to see more than two sides to the coin and make an informed decision I love this site - it has always been this way and always will... This little fact gets lost all too commonly by a few who seem to live in glass houses and take every little comment as an attack - Believe me, you will get attacked someday by a blithering ass-hole who will stop at nothing to berate and badger and bad mouth -it always happens. This is the difference with typed words - So it is all good Purple, it is all good-- |
