Nothing hurt except pride. Believe it or not that passenger rear rim is still holding air. I drove it 168 miles to the heliport Tuesday morning... I had no choice. Couldn't get a combo in time. I looked over everything I could. It all looked well. it "does" kinda seem like my entire axle got pushed to the driver's side a good half inch, but I really cant tell with the passenger QP damage. I have nothing"true" to take a measurement off of now!

Not hijacking the thread at all, just letting guys know how much the Sumi's really DO suck. You simply CANNOT depend on them. The Nitto's WILL be my next choice.

Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's up front, 275/40r17 with some CRAZY deep treads, and the absolute **** Sumi's in back. Guess who's now in the market for a new pair of Chrome 17x11's and Nitto 555 Extremes?





Damn Whigham!

And if you want more traction than the NT05s can give in both straight line and in the curves... The Toyo R888. $1000 from Tire Rack.
