I should post a video or two. The sounds this car makes in sport mode with the M Performance exhaust and the M Performance Power Pack tune are nasty. Faint turbo whistle, BOV whoosh, pops and burbles.

New wheels and tires, ready for top down weather!

The tires are the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

Here are some pictures of the new Michelin PS4S tires installed. When the weather gets a little better, it's time for some exterior detailing.

225/40R19 on a 8.5" wheel


255/35R19 on a 9.5" wheel


Showing the "velvet" sidewall contrast. It actually feels like velvet! lol


Obligatory whole car picture.

Honestly, I forgot about that and just saw that when I made the last post. I'll need to take care of that. In my defense, the weather here in Chicago has been mostly terrible.

I'll be sure to get that video ASAP!!! All of my free time goes into making steering wheels for G37 guys, lol jk.

I don't really need unnecessarily heavy, wide, and expensive tires. These 255 width Pilot Sport 4S tires manage the ~350ft/lbs of torque I punish them with just fine. I can guarantee they have more grip than an all season or a cheap/crappy 285 width tire. Also, Pilot Sport tires run wide and I don't have room for anymore tire lol. Thanks for the compliments!
