Aeolus steering xas out.... nitto nt05 in.... I think I could've gotten a few more miles out though. I blame my 4.08 gears for this.

Looks like you had a fun summer. At least they wore evenly. How often do you get an alignment?

Jesus christ, that tire is bald beyond belief. That is borderline insane. How did your *** not kick out every turn you made?

Wow, and I thought my stockers were low when I replaced em after having my 4.08 in for a while.

Driving was a lot of fun. Turns and u-turns with the traction control off were hilarious.

Had to slow down the few times it rained, but I still had decent traction.

I can't imaging what it was like for you driving in the rain haha.

The one thing I hated though was losing to cars I would normally be able to pull on because tires would just spin...on the track of course lol.

Thats crazy. I did that on my last car...I wore the tires down til they looked like slicks but no inner lining showing. I am still not sure how I managed that one! The new tires look good though! I like the tread pattern
