I guess I don't really have a budget, my preference on that is I'm willing to pay more for something thats better than just to spend less. I wouldn't need all season, but even in the rain those Potenza's were pretty bad. I will check out those Hankooks.

Post away man haha. This thread used to be crazy with posts a year ago, then it scaled back after we got back from spending 2 weeks together on a cruise down to Miami. Then Lance (1cleanG) decided to sell his G and then winter came so its a little slow.
We need to revive this thread here dudes!! For starters, I got a lil something fitted up last weekend and is off getting painted this week . Here is my teaser...
Also finally got my order in for my Megan exhaust for the M35. Went with the burnt tips, should look sexxy up against white!

If budget isn't a concern on tires, get Michelin Pilot Super Sport. Best warranty, best traction (wet or dry) and best overall tire. I have never been impressed with a tire more than I am with these. WELL worth the money. I cannot wait to get them put back on. Even in slushy snow they did pretty damn well. Had two sets of V12s and while they were good for the money.... these Michelins are like taking it to the next level in terms of overall performance... BMW 528 to a an M5 type jump.

I'll be honest, I was really pumped for you having the kuruma. Could have raised you're front like a half inch, pushed the wheels out a bit...thing woulda been smokin'! Especially with it being Poly and you're coupe NOT being a DD....I have a feeling you mayyyyy regret it my friend.

last week I was reading tire reviews on tirerack.com and on discounttire.com and seeing how different tires were, and I was looking at those Michelin Pilot Super Sports, they had the highest rating by users, and showed to have a much quieter ride, and were the only "sport" tire that had a warranty, which obviously isn't a huge selling point, but since the OEM Potenza's barely get over 22k its good to see these were warrantied for 30k. I just wasn't sure if it was more of a true "sport" tire or if it was something a little harder for a grandpa car, or if its soft enough to handle well for a coupe. I did see a review from a guy with a BMW 650 that also liked those tires. Thanks for throwing the pic of them up also, good to see if they are a stylish tire too. Also, they are a little more pricey but, if I got the same Potenza's that I have currently they are over a 100 more a tire, so really they aren't that bad.

Then it makes me feel good that I was on the same page. Gotta say I like this forum... everyone is nice and helpful and not arrogant and disrespectful. Always makes me a lil hesitant. lol I feel kinda unfair, my expertise is more in golf and computers.

I still drive it like a DD in the summer and my front is already a little higher than my rear and I don't want to raise my car up anymore... I would rather be lower with a lip than higher with the kuruma. I was with Emad and the kuruma having that round and bubbly look to it and taking away from the sleek flow of the car. After seeing this shot of the D Spec lip I was sold
nah, it'll def keep it clean. I'm just such an advacate of the Kuruma, that's all.

it def didnt hurt the cause haha. Buy yea I know you love that kuruma, who knows maybe seeing it on Hossams car will drive me to get it by Z Dayz next year...
