I had those tires. They sure are great in dry and wet. They wore really fast though. Sway bars will make for a fun weekend. Congrats on your stuff.

Whoa.....I need a set of the sway bars if they're GREEN. They'll match the Tein setup perfectly.
 They might have done that so that nobody in the warehouse gets confused with the old model or something. They always used to be bright red. Or, perhaps they we're tired of red....I don't know. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

Good tires...keep them aired up alot! The max psi is like 51psi so keep them at 45psi also rotate them every 6k mile or so and they will last. Sidewalls are alittle mushy but the traction in wet and dry is great and the price is best!

Then i went and turned around, and went to do it again, 60 it started shaking....wtf. (sorry about the side note, just figured that it must be tearing my tires up even more then i thought.)
