I've presently got better places to put an extra $3-4 hundred for tires that are only good for one thing only. For the driving I do they will do just fine as previous replies also say. I'm 64 yrs old, looking to retire and I'm just watching my pennies right now.
    First off, sorry I did not read your other post but in my reply(not sure if you read it), I simply stated MY opinion that I did not like all-seasonal performance tires. It was mentioned by someone else that all-seasonal tires aren't that bad and I was simply stating the reasons why they can't compare to a dedicated summer performance tire....that is all. As far as you being 64 years young...congrats and you're looking to retire....awesome, now Dennis has someone to talk to. On the other hand, I feel like 70 years old when I get up some mornings and I have another 17 years before I can retire so you got me beat brother.

    Good luck with the new tires and wheel and I hope I get to meet you one day in person at an event.

    THANX...for sure you'll be seeing us when the weather warms up and for darned sure in Sept at Laconia.

    We used to be big time into Nascar but I've lost interest...too much politics in the sport. We are a few Seasoned Citizens around here that sold our touring bikes to get into Mustang GTs and we really enjoy the hell out of them. This year we will be spreading our wings and head out your way and meet more people with the same interests as us. I'll surely be looking out for you guys cause I see alot of really interesting cars that you guys have. This picture was taken not long before I put it away with the old wheels. See ya soon!

    Finally got them on...what a difference! I think I should lower it a bit, though.

    Looks good. Lowering it would look good too. What set up were you thinking?
