Default I need to buy a tire store

Just ordered REAR only tires for both my 1998 Supra Turbo and my 2005 C6 yesterday from Tire Rack. $1,400 (not including install). The Supra got 2,500 miles out of the rear. The C6 was MUCH more conservative getting 8,000 miles.

It must be my right foot.

God I love Fast Cars!!!

Maybe I should forget the tire store and buy a dealership

A tire factory is more like it. Hell, I'm even driving my Tundra faster now. Although it still feels like I'm pedaling it after driving the Vette.

I hear that. My Supra is stock and feels quite wimpy now.

Just cut off a 2" x 4" about 6" long and place it under the "go faster" pedal. (It's the one on the right)

Nope, I refuse to do that! Might as well drive a Yugo then
