Today the c4 got new sneakers. Toyo Extenza HP2s. Amazing the difference in the ride. Bought the car and never knew about the date code. Learned something new and realized they were 22 years old 😳.

Yea, I was looking for something that looked a bit aggressive without going for straight summer tires. The options for 275 40 17 are gettin slim. Also are those original tires to the car?! Lol looks like it says 87 😲
