Of course its very rare that you move to a different tire that you know going into it, is going to be worse but I think a large part of this is that street tires go through so many heat cycles that by the time you replace them their grip levels are much lower than whey were when you installed them and the change has been so slow and gradual that its impossible to notice. Anyway, just thinking in text here.


In addition not to mention the placebo effect when first test riding the new tires is that anything new is going to have better grip than the grip levels from a worn tire. Where as it's going to be a tough evaluation at least until you have at least 500 miles on the new tires and scrubbed in.

Parts 4 sale, giving you guys first dibs before I open up sale threads. Below is what you always wanted and in time for that present under the X-Mas tree.

1) Sunline Spats by Aerojacket FRP already color matched - Red. Never used, but mounted, then I switched over to their CF version. Ready to paint and mount or mount if you have a red Z. Let em go for 250, normally go for 350.

2) Berk HFC's about 20k on them, no leaks. Let em go for 300, normally go for 550.

3) Canon 50D DSLR with standard lens, throw in a battery pack, low mileage. $800

Hit me up if interested before I toss them to the wolves.

If you guys wait around for another couple of weeks, I should have my Z1 headers and test pipes installed and you guys will be able to see they actually perform. if they are really what they say they are.

My son woke up this morning, crawled in my bed, and said to my wife, "Mom, I have a secret to tell you". He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Wood hood"!!!!!!! I shıt myself laughing so hard and had to take another shower.
