Intercooler finally showed up and ordered new tires

jivepepper · March 30th, 2009, 11:56 AM

The intercooler showed up today and looks good for the most part but there was a little cosmetic damage. I don't have time to send it back I'm just going to except it.

I also ordered some new MT 315/35/17's DR's and some Sumitomo 255/45/17's for the front.

I have had the MT's before in this size with the newer thread pattern and absolutely loved them. I had to settle for BFG's DR's in same size last time because the MT's were on back order. They had half the traction, wore out quicker, and preformed worse in the rain.

The newer thread pattern is a step up from the old design as far every day driving and preforms just as well at the track as the older pattern.

I love these tires but they are not cheap for a tire I have to replace almost every year.

MT 315/35/17 DR's

These tires are good in the 275 and down just don't get the 315's the gaps are huge. The reason I like them is that they're only 67 a peice lol.

Sumitomo 255/45/17's

455 after shipping from Summit.

They are my favorite by far. I have tried Nittos. BFG's and these MT's. MT's In the newer thread pattern are far superior in every category.

Well it's the bottom and dosen't restrict flow inside and is only on the edge. But when I buy something new I want it prestine. It's not enough to effect performance but still.
