Besides, it's not like I gave a ****. I put the ET streets on when I want to go out and really play.

EDIT:

Good excuse to go outside the office for a minute. These were bought half used 2nd hand from someone who ran them with too much pressure so they kept wearing uneven. All 295/50r15s blow *** anyway so I learned I'm better off buying what I can get cheap and spending my tire fund on drag radials.




New tires are Yokohama Avid S/T with basically no miles...guy got them and they wouldn't fit his car so I got them for half the price I could buy new crappy tires for. I'm putting them on when I get home today, might take them out and see if they're worth a damn.

I'll take some with the new rubber later.

I've been meaning to take some since I painted the headlight bezels black anyway. Looks much meaner than chrome.
