Just a warning and suggestion...don't store your rims/tires in bags! Especially if they are sealed or tied shut. On my old vehicle, when winter came around they swapped off my summer rims (chrome) and put them in bags and put on my winter wheels/tires. I just took out my summer setup (left in their bags) and put them in my garage. When I went to put them back on in the spring, they had all bubbled and peeled because of the moisture that was on the tires when they put them in the bags. At the very least, make sure the bags are open and can circulate air. I learned this lesson the hard way...

For summer, I liked my Turenza's. I actually don't like the TripleTred's I'm running now. They are miles ahead of the Michelins in the winter, but they don't hold the road as well.
I was running Conti's on my TL, and I thought they were a great set of tires for the price. I may go back to them for my next set if the car is around that long.

I'm getting my left rear tire inspected later today, I have a small leak but wanting to determine if it's a bead leak or something in the tire. Hoping I can hold off on getting new tires until later this fall or even next spring if I can help it! I will probably put the stock 18s back on so I don't have any flat spots on them again. I'm leaning towards the Pilot Super Sports. I just don't know if I'm going to like the V12s or not 
But we will see, it is a couple hundred between the difference of the V12s and the SS's in just the rears alone....
How's everyone been lately? Tix pre ordered for watching The Dark Knight Rises tomorrow at 8, anyone else planning to see it? I haven't been to a movie since the last time we all went to see the one in the cities

You know how I've been
I vote for the SS because I really want to see their profile on a 10.5 wheel. You can't go wrong with Michelin so I'm not just being selfish here 
I wanna see Batman too but I doubt it'll be tomorrow night. If you go, let me know how you liked it.
That's what I was afraid of
this made me laugh

Speaking of tires, Tevi you still got those motorcycle tires? Im heading to Fargo in 2 weeks im estimating and would like to get my tires changed out. I don't trust my current ones on a 240mile ride! Last thing I want is a tire blowout in the middle of BFE.

Tevi, how many miles do you have on those Falkens? I couldn't believe you were down that low already! I don't think you have more miles on yours than I, and I probably have twice the tread still. And for the trip we were at the same camber spec as well...Something's not adding up...your toe might need to be realigned or something.

I checked the toe spec from my alignment and it's good. My guess is all the drifting I did at the airstrip + peeling out of almost every corners on the way back from the dragon just for the hell of it took its toll. The front ones still have plenty of thread. I'll probably pick up 2 new rear sometimes next months.

dude...i HIIIIGHLY recommend you get another alignment. You didn't really "drift" that much at the airstrip, was like 1 or 2 short patches. I tracked my car at Powercruise, have done straight all out burnouts, drove the sh*t outta my car at ZdayZ, and I have well over 50% tread left on all my tires.
You JUST got those tires put on THIS SPRING w/ the new wheels...I had mine all last summer already too.....

On another note I need to drive my car more often so I don't drive like a racecar driver when I do
