Tires

I recently replaced the Toyo tires on my 20 inch wheels with Vredestein 275 40/ 315 35. The new tires are amazing. Much better ride than the Toyos and in my opinion look much more unique. You can really feel the difference at high speeds (i routinely drive 100+ mph) and in the corners.

Glad you like your new tires, but it'd be a good idea stop endangering the people around you by driving like this.

nice.. got mine for $805 all in. I'm sure i'll love em too. So you're always at 100+? LOL.

I actually got into it with a Porsche Cayenne on the Cross Island Pkway a week or 2 ago. Great run from around the GCP exit to the whitestone.. He took off on me at the end when i was in steptronic and realized i was in 4th.. :-( doohhh..

until we meet again.. I don't do it often, but with a beast like this I have to push her once in a while when the wife and daughter aren't in the car... plus.. he started it!! LOL.

i live in the city and work in greenwich, ct. drive to work everyday at 7am. very little traffic at that hour. most people doing 75-80ish. only thing suffering from my excessive speed is my gas mileage. lol good luck with the tires!
