Superb grip and longer tread life is a nice offset to the cost over some other very good tires(Conti DW etc).
Yep -- you are right on the money with your comments.

Ouch. Another black mark for Bimmers in an ever-growing list.

Why oh why doesn't Michelin make the Pilot Super Sport in 285/35 19?

I'm thinking a 255/40 and 285/35 would look PERFECT on my stock Sport Rays.

I don't know what to do... I want to go a little wider, but still stay within recommended parameters. I know that I could put a 295/30 or a 305/30 on the stock wheel, but it might not look right.

Canadian beer is strong?? Canadian said that?? mmm.... maybe he only has Canadian beer in his whole life... LOL

Euro beer are good, in Germany, their beer is 25% alcohol, no lie because a German customer told me that, even local beer store in here we can get beer from Europe has 13% alcohol...

That's what I'm saying. We don't drink Canadian beer (unless you're under 25, the kids just don't know any better), it's imports or micro brews for me.

We should do a the370z.com BBQ / beer tasting weekend. Our house is always open to fellow 370z'ers, good times!

i would usually drive my Z on the weekends to charge up the battery but it's wet outside, so I am going to let it sit in the garage until the next weekend
