Thanks. My wife hates Toque, though she doesn't know him. He's directly responsible for my SP500's and my coil overs.

Your car with those wheels and those fenders is just perfect. looks so tasteful.

I meant her large "issues" with being able to see her fries...
The straw was never an issue getting in her mouth.

They are actually r888s. They are soft, they hum when you get moving, and I predict they'll last 6-8k miles if you don't bake them. All that said, and I'll be getting the 305s in the spring. These are only 295 on a 19" wheel. They dead hook in warm weather in 2nd gear w 600whp. Can't go back to a street radial ever again
