I'm glad I don't like doing burnouts. I just like going fast quickly which isn't really that bad for the tires.

How much did those babies cost for the entire set? I'm looking at the F1's for when I get my 18" rims put on.

Thanks.

I work for Goodyear, my cost was 206 per tire. Get a 80 gas card, and 20 back via retail bonus. trying to get an associates rebate coupon for 20% also. Thats like pulling teeth from the dealer rep.

I like the looks of those tires. I have 21,000 miles on my original set. No burnouts for me[sm=gears.gif] just highway mileage to work. I plan on getting some 18" wheels & tires when I get the car out of the body shop[:@]

The new goodyear eagle f-1s are really nice tires, other ones that look nice and are great performance tires are the bf-goodrich g-force kdw's.

Yeah those are the bfg's it came with.

When I pulled it out of the lot onto the street for the 1st time it was like driving on ice, lol. Really kinda scary for the 1st few miles, slowly I can feel them getting stickier. Short ride home from work only 3 miles, need to go drive some more now seing as snow is on the way tonight.
