While I appreciate your assumptions on my life style based on some "Steal Your Face" album art, I'd guess it would blow your mind that I've been going to Dead concerts since I was a kid and yet I'm a Republican and have never once done an illegal drug. It would probably blow your mind even further if you knew that I completed my undergrad at one of the most liberal Universities in the country; UC Santa Cruz. You know what they say about judging the poster based on his sig art?

PS - After you push the period button when completing a sentence, you usually follow that up by pushing the space button, not the enter/return button. Unless the above was your weak attempt at writing an Haiku.

P.S. Another failed attempt... I believe it should be "a haiku." Not "an Haiku." Using "an" is usually followed by a word that begins with a vowel. So now we know that you aren't any good at Math or English.

There are the R-compound tires you can fit a 305/40-18R in the rear, it will have a 27.7 or so height, and not be safe in the rain.

The bummer is when you look at the Viper, the Z-06 or the current ZR-1, or Porsche, they all are able to maximize their power with 325-335 wide rear rubber. In 70 degree weather, no 285 wide summer tire can handle 550hp (475rwhp), so the frustrating part is how much better those super cars can put down their 500-635HP with correctly engineered tires for those vehicle weights and HP outputs.

305 is the widest we can go(without race cofigurations) on our cars at 18" wheels, so our cars do not have near the low gear street speed of the above mentioned cars. Erik

I have 245/45/18's all around and I like them just find. They do make my rims look smaller than 18's though. It may just be my rims however
