2nd', it will destroy highways and whatever light snow/compact snow that comes with it. They suck on powder, though you may fair better with an STI. I did it with my FWD turbos.

BTW, how much you get them for?

^ Don't quite remember the price but The Speed Syndicate sourced the tires for me. Less hastle in my opinion.

Picked up my exhaust yesterday for the STI and got it installed at The Speed Syndicate.

Oh, One other thing with the tires, They have NO wet traction, At all. You'll spin them/have traction control kick in just turning left...

gloors 01-26-2013 08:49 AM

not even one week with the new car.. and ive already ordered origin body kit, short shifter and an SR swap.

need to control impulse buys :badpokerface:

Thanks for the heads up! :)

So far they're holding up pretty well actually, no complaints yet! I've driven to cypress and whistler with no issues so far and in and around the city in the rain zero issues. Could be the AWD or I just drive very slow... or the tires are still very new :fullofwin:

Yeah i forgot you have an STi, I just have FWD and no traction control... Even with a LSD it's like driving with a pair of hockey skates on the car.

Haha, there's some difference but I wouldn't really say it's major. I used to have the AVIC-F90BT before upgrading to my AVIC-Z110BT and this. Interface layout is a bit of a change and the loading times aren't as brutal. Having outdated maps on the navi was bothering me so I decided to update my unit.

Not for a car but there's nothing else to do on a bike in the off season except buy stuff for it and wait for good weather.....

It's a Works bell QR where they did a limited collab with a D1GP driver

It's this one here;
WB Toshiki Yoshioka QR

Although I got a bit of a discount. Not quite sure I could justify the price otherwise.
