Yeah, having a big sedan is nice (even though I get flamed for it non-stop here)
Awesome! How much Conti DW tires run you for a set? I need new tires for the rear since the Yokohama Sport rubbers bite away quick
Could get something All Seasonal tires as Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus or something else less. Yokohama Sport is great tires but threadwear is too low.

On tire rack for a 245 40ZR-19 all around its around $970. They seem to rank pretty high in most comparison tests against much more expensive summer tires like the PS2 and PZero, save for say the new Michelin Pilot Super Sport

My dad has the Pilot Sport A/S+ on his '04 Vette and seems to like them. Then again, he's 61 years old and drives like grandma

Looks like rain/snow for tomorrow morning so I guess the meet is off. I know I won't be there.

Since I told Jay I'd put some up here:







I apologize for the messy garage. Need to clean it.

But first I am going to spend the better part of tomorrow cleaning the S. It's a used car so I feel kind of nasty since the dirt in it is from other people, so I'll be taking the seats out and everything for a thorough cleaning!
