Check out where we rank! granted it's with the group LEAST likely to be able to afford to buy and insure a new car. These are the ones buying SS/SC's and putting 87 octane, cheap oil, and $90 Kumos on them. But hey they like the car!

Darnit. I knew I should have bought that Charger. That site says that my demo is buying Chargers. Where did I go so wrong?

It's not that they are BUYING them, just created a "buzz". I would much rather have may SS/SC then a hummer H3. Hey that rhymed!, I'm a poet and the thought never occurred to me.

Generation X (Born from 1965-1976) - Hummer H3

I seriously don't think it's very accurate. Everyone I know in my age bracket has a Civic or a tC. hehe.

Though one of my acquaintances bought an Expedition, but can't drive it. He can't afford the $100.00 fill up twice a week. haha.

We have been though this before, not a chance in hell are some $90 tires going to out handle the pirellis for out right performance.
1- Better tread rating = less grip. No way around simple science, to last longer the rubber
has to be harder.
2- Better water channels (not even sure what the hell that is, I THINK you are trying to say
better wet weather traction), that is possible. but I am more then happy with the traction in
the rain that I have.
3- Better looks, personal opinoin
4- Heat better? you got me on that one....... don't even know what you mean.

I don't find anything funny about somebody putting a cheaper, lower perfromance tire on their car because the latest Civic in HPTuners has them, and he is probably paided to put them on his car.

Im with him^^^

My freind had them on his kia and they where alright. But no where near the traction of the stockers. And my BFGs kill them both at 160 a tire.
