indeed. I have no idea how they figure the difference... but I was going to buy some headlights from someone on here (before he sold them to someone else after we had made a deal) and part of it was me printing a shipping label for them as he got a $60 estimate from Fedex and I was able to get $20 using the same measurements and weight.

Im sure dey also make junk tires like 150% of all junkook tires.

I think he currently has on the knockoff Yokohama's. I forgot the name. Kumho I think? He has blown 3 of the 4 in under 2 years from just normal usage. No nails or anything. Just randomly goes flat and can't be patched.

But let's scoff at me spending $450 on dedicated high performance all seasons or dedicated summers.

njobe89 04-11-2017 11:51 AM

kumho tires aren't bad lol. i've never had any problems when i had them on my rsx

They came on my Cobalt and were abysmal during the winter. Had the "ultra" performance all-seasons. Switched to Nitto Invo's during the summer and Blizzaks for the winter. Never looked back.

Did you have the Kuhmo Ecsta ASX or whatever? I had them too, sidewall was way too soft. Same with the Continental DWS, which was the highest rated all season at one point, but they drove terrible in my opinion.

Kuhmo's summer tires aren't bad but they're noisy.

They may have been. I honestly don't remember. Swapped them out the moment summer came around. I remember the road noise was horrible and they didn't take bumps well.

On a happy note, the car comes out of storage tomorrow!!! Just got a call from my storage guy that he can finally move some cars around to get mine out!

DWS06 > DWS

Night and day difference. Not so much on the soft sidewalls they are still soft.
I much prefer driving on my S04's in da summer or RE11's.

kenchan 04-11-2017 01:54 PM

Will try PS4S next on my STI

Does anyone have the theoretical speed a 370 automatic might do at 6th gear redline?

killrain 04-11-2017 02:33 PM

Howdy all!

killrain 04-11-2017 02:36 PM

killrain 04-11-2017 02:36 PM

The 370Z is aero drag-limited to 154 mph top speed. Pretty sure you will hit this before 6th gear redline. Maybe 170ish theoretical?

JARblue 04-11-2017 03:40 PM

Everyone please have a wonderful Tuesday afternoon. It is rainy and nasty here - perfect weather for my all seasons. It's been fun actually getting off the line without wheel spin :driving:

I think I meant 4th gear.

JARblue 04-11-2017 03:52 PM

Oh ... 4th gear is probably somewhere close to 130ish. I definitely recall having to shift to 5th when I hit 140+ mph at COTA a few years ago. Not theoretical.

Seriously, sent out 4 emails saying that if you access your desktop from home using vmware you HAVE to upgrade your vm client or you are going to be SOL. Does anyone read these or do it? No! :mad:
