Dang I've heard they are a good tire not sure why more people don't use them. I know the MT radial pros are good as well I just wish they made a 275/50/15 radial pro and they aren't really a true street tire even though they have a dot stamp. My current tires have a little life left yet so I can still decided on what I want to try next.

Some times disagreements between knowledgeable folks create the best discussions as they try to make their case. There are many things that are proven formulas for success, but also more than one way to do many things. Some people are more blunt than others and rub people the wrong way, but we are all here because we love working on and tuning cars.

I'm a factory worker it's a rough crowd. The worse thing you can do is get butt hurt then they just pile on even more...LOL. Like when I first started here I was on the floor stacking wood on a ripline. Most of us were in our lower 20's back then and the last thing you wanted them to know was you were hung over or sick. If they knew you were weak man it was hammer time on the old rip saw.

My injectors are maxed and everything is running so well I'm just going to leave it alone at least until warmer weather hits. I'm sure injectors and pulley will happen this summer if nothing else breaks in the meantime.
