I should play that again. Did you see the Scarface PD2 stuff? I didnt look into too much but it could be fun novelty character.

Oh man, sorry to hear that. Hopefully find a good deal on some new rubber. What tires do you normally run?

I'm hoping Tony at Discount Tire will take care of me. He's a former Z owner and takes care of all my tire needs. Plus he's the one who originally installed these tires and told me about his buddy who was selling them.

I generally run Nitto Invos because summer performance is quite good, wet weather is excellent, wear isn't terrible, and price is right for high mileage DD.

These A/S3's I picked up because they were already installed on a set of sport rims a local Z owner was selling. Normally, I wouldn't buy all seasons for a sports car, but I have to say the traction in sub-40's temps has been great and is a vast improvement over any of the performance tires I've used (duh).

Once I get another DD, I will be looking to run something like RE-11s for autoX or track events. Eventually, I'd like to be serious enough to haul the Z to events on a trailer with slicks, but I have a lot of performance and driver modding to do before I get to that point.

I think reps are due

Sounds like you got a good plan

I love the Re-11's, they are way overkill for street driving, but they look pretty

JAR is the only other person I have ever met to run NITTO Invo's. i love that tire so damn much!! Ran 245's on my Cobalt for summer. Plus, they looked sweeeeeet! Light lightsabers dueling with thick single grooves on the outside.

A buddy of mine ran them on his 2003 Cobra SVT Moostang and recommended them highly. I was more than impressed when he let me drive it. And yeah ... wicked tread pattern looks awesome with 305s in the rear
