Default New Tires on!

F1 GSD3's: car feels like it's on air. Low to nill road noise, actually I can hear all kinds of sounds other than the tires now. My ? is how do you get rid of the crap/scratches left behind by the old wheel weights?

I have GSD3s and I love them. On my car I only let them put wheel balancing weights on the inside of the wheel - not the rims.

My rear tires have ove 40,000 miles and still have a lot of tread, I replaced the front tires at about 35,000. I will probably change out the rears in a month or two - I figure I'm pushing my luck!

A friend of mine recently drive the car and couldn't beleive how grippy they were. Probably the best C5 non-runflat tires out there.
