I was jugs cycling through the maps out of boredom. I do that from time to time, lol.

Took a friend up to Glendora Mountain Rd through to Mt. Baldy. It was a little icier than I expected. Probably not the best idea on summer tires.

Ran the Z through Mulholland HWY and Encinal canyon with a few buddies. Car is running STRONG @ 8PSI in this cold weather

Got the bad news today from Tire Rack on my backordered Michelin Pilot Super Sport
285/35/19 since Sept. Word from Tire Rack is the MFG has set an indefinate delivery date.

Tire Rack is holding the last two fronts for me 265/35/19 and they are now discontinued.

Okay...so has anyone have any experience with the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ?

I was finnaly gonna jump ship on the RE-11's and join the Michelin family...now they do not make the sizes.

I could go with RE-11's again or Potenza S-04 or Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3....any thoughts on above question ? Thanks in advance ...Sorry Donald cannot join the club if they do not carry my size anymore.

Finished drilling out 6 (yes six..

) of my studs to remove my front two wheels that were seized on. My Work RS-R Aluminum lugs are officially retired, good riddance to them. Took six hours and 8 drill bits and a lot of cursing. No damage to the car thankfully (other than 6 drilled out studs lol) but I did get a couple minor nicks on the Advans

Once the ARP studs get here I can cut them down then install those, and then I will be switching to R40 Revo's next year. No more screwing around with sh!tty H&R studs or aluminum lugs!

unfortunately, thats just the price you pay for using aluminum lugs on steel lugs. you can use aluminum lugs if you use some anti-seize

Went to the Paul Walker & Roger Rodas Memorial Meet Yesterday

Thousands of cars and 3x the people...took me 3+ hours to move .8 of a mile. But was still an awesome day

R.I.P.

Haboob · 12-10-2013, 12:45 AM

Yeah, there were a ton of people from Phx that made the trip over too. A Z or two I believe.

Grindkiezer · 12-10-2013, 12:58 AM

This was about 1/3 of the actual memorial "section" TONS of candles/pictures/posters it was pretty amazing to see how many people made the trip on this day alone

go with S04's, mr.zforce!

that's wat i run these days. not looking back.

they look great too. dont get the 275/35/19, get 285/35/19 or wider cause for some reason the S04's in 275/35/19 is narrower than the RE050A's.
