i got the F1 supercars in the back (295/35/18) they are ok, not good in cold (below 50), or wet. noticable road noise. i heard alot of GM guys rating them bad on tread life, i havnt had any problems with that, i noticed a big differance after suspension mods

well it's a good thing it's barely below 60 over here. hopefully they'll be ok. theyll have a lot more meat on them from the 17s that i have now. and the oh so fun mud+snow pirelli's that they gave me

Thanks for mentioning that; the Invos are among the highest rated tires out there and was curious about them, so it's good to hear from another MF'er about them. I might look into those

hahaha i hear that, my 17 pirelli's were toast after 15. and i'm pretty sure i heard some people getting 35-45k out of em. too many nice cars up my hill.



sure it's an easy drive, but it's always a joyous occasion when you see carrera gt blow by you at 110. hahaha
