Default New Tires On!!!

Just got the new skins on my 00 FRC. Michelin ZP Pilot Sport A/S. I couldn't be more pleased.Was worried about some idiot screwing up my Maggnesium wheels or worse.Had Wheel works in Concord Ca. do it.They were excellent!! and very professional Staff and Techs. These tires are very quiet compared to the stock Goodyears.Plus they have a nice bead of rubber that protects the rim from scrapes!Just love-um.If your in this area..I recommend those guys to do the job.

Just had the same tires put on 2 weeks ago on my 2000. The handeling and grip is just awsome compared to the GY I took off. Hope you enjoy them as much as I am. Dave

I love these tires! I put them on our 95 C4 and what a change it made. Great in the rain.
