My favorite tire that I have driven, period. Wow.
Hey Janik...can you tell us what you really think of them? Wish you would have SHOWED us instead of telling us.

Haha in good time, Peng. Whenever I go on these cruises though, I either chip the hell out of my front end, fry the brakes, or break something. I can't help myself and I always say i'll drive slow but never do lol.

You should try some reverse psychology on yourself next time and see if you have better luck that way

Janik to answer your question from the meet thread, no idea why it started to smoke. My assumption is potentially the belts? Not quite sure. Had a rubberish smell but wasn't tires.

Glad to hear Bruce made it back.

yeah I saw you open the door and smoke rolled out. I thought maybe you were tokin up in there or something haha. When I saw it I looked on the ground and didnt see any coolant or other liquids, and I could smell rubber as well.

Matt - you better get this checked out. You JUST bought the car, should get all the belts and everything checked out. That's the first time I can remember us going on a cruise A CAR...let alone 2 G's going down because of mechanical issues. We miiight have had a car go into the ditch, but was still runnin' fine! lol
