I can vouch for Z IT GO... When we ride together we Z him go real quick!!

I hear your Mayor is going to ban Z's up there in NY in favor of Priusses... along with the salt, the sugar, the 32oz Drinks and Baby Formula... So your Prius should do fine...

Ya when I was reading up on tires on this board that was the general consensus...soft sidewall.

So while the price is attractive. I enjoy pushing the car in corners so no go.

In the process of getting new rims so will most likely go with Bridgestone RE-11, so I can also do some Time Attack here and there also.

I boosted the tire pressure to 38 psi. Seemed to have helped alot.
