I only drive on Ultra High Performance Summer tires. Year round. Did it with the Corvette and Supra.

I agree with this. Being down here we don't get much bad weather(snow/ice) but about two days a year so there's no reason to have "winter" tires.

Even with that, I drive in rain, ice etc. I hardly ever take a day off, and the key is not driving like a jackass :). I've never had problems with traction in bad weather as long as I keep it safe.

I'll look into those, thanks

I'm just so used to all season tires I like the safety net. Plus I need as much traction in all weather as I can get in this car, after coming from big somewhat slow trucks

Well ordered hood struts and billet grilles from american muscle, then black 3.7 badges from latemodel. Camaros will never suspect a thing

All season tires use a harder compound, so it's harder to get traction because it's not as soft. You'd honestly be better off traction wise with summer tires. Some summer tires have just as good of wet handling, if not better than all seasons. No need to worry about ice here

Get something really sticky you will be fine in TX.
I DD all my cars with DRs and just recently my Z06 and was in OK for some pretty crappy weather this year and it was fine.

Amr wheels are finally in stock!! Now let's see if I can get my car back before the 30 day mark

Idk how I've survived this long without it

Body shop is running out of indoor storage so car is getting towed back to the house till repairs can be finished

They sure have taken their time...

garner 12-13-2013 03:49 PM

Not really. Only repairs left are mounting wheel(still not here) with tire and alignment

Back home

Looks like Discount Tire in your garage lol.

garner 12-15-2013 03:09 PM

Haha never thought of that




Changed my mod plans on the first page. Went away from speed, and more towards appearance and interior comfort since they better fit my goals/driving style at the present time

garner 12-23-2013 02:06 PM

Wheel is here, on the car, and it's going to the alignment shop now
