    Stock tires are 185 60 15's

    I'm stepping it up to an ungodly wide tire!!!

    [img]graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img] 195 60 15 Continental CH95's

    I looked at 185 60 15 stock replacement tires and they are EXPENSIVE!
    Then I looked at 195 55 15's and 205 55 15's and they are expensive.

    So, the 195 60 15's are $61 each instead of almost $100 each :D

    Then!!!! We are not done yet!!!

    Infiniti REF 6002SI Front
    Infiniti REF 9603I Rear

    Speakers.... DIRT cheap through work. MB and Infiniti, Harmon Kardon, JBL have a "working relationship" Think under $100 for all four :D

    Neon is getting even SEXIER!!!!!!

      I need to get rid of the Goodyear LS's that are on my Neon. I made the mistake of shelling out the cash for OEM replacements, not knowing they SUCK!!! So have you been able to drive a while on the new rubber, and if so whaddya think?

          You talking to James, and is it because he actually enjoys his job and gets some benny's as well? No need to hate, my friend. I know you're not happy right now, but c'mon, have some joy for someone! ;)

            Um, hopefully this wasn't directed at me.....

            I am a car enthusiest.

            I like my cars.

            I like to learn about other people's rides (v6 f body's and OTHER brands TOO!)

            I like to talk about my toys. My job has me directly involved in the automotive field..... I live for this stuff.

            If I somehow offended you because my neon is SEXY..... I'm sorry.

            *disclaimer* the smiley above is me making a joke [img]tongue.gif[/img]

                ****, Shirls Cavie has larger wheels than my 93 Sonoma 4.3! *grumble*

                Don't worry. I'll fix that here soon :D I have a set of IROC wheels and a set of original first run Cragar SS's coming my way. mmm, what shoes shall my truck wear today!? :D

                How are you liking the continentals? When I first bought my Camaro I had Continentals on there from the previous owner --- they sucked. Haven't really been a fan of their tires since.

                        Dunno yet, only have 5-10 miles on them.
                        They are still slippery because they are new.

                        We shall see. They were cheap :D

                          At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                          Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
