Gents,

Thanks again for all your input.

I've noticed that the stock tires causes some extreme tramlining and instability while breaking over inconsistant surfaces.

Can I assume this is caused by the tires and not something worse (e.g. suspension problems)?

I will be there in a week neighbor. Just try my tires out and see what it does before you dismiss the option.

As far as street tires the PS2's are a best bet.

Though after the tires (and perhaps wheels) I think the next set of mods might have to wait a few months

P.S. [spoken in a sinister tone] Send me an Email/PM response to my latest PM when you get a chance so I can make the "neccessary" arangements. Muhahahaha.... j/k
