New Shoes and a fresh Coat of Wax

Here are some pics of my SS after new tires and a fresh wax. I decided to go with Cooper tires instead of Pirellis. Let me know what you think.

They perform just as well as if not better than the stock tires. It was raining all day yesterday when I had them put on, so I figured I would test them out and see what kind of traction they got in the rain. It seemed that they actually caught traction a little faster than the Pirellis did in the rain. Today it was dry, I took a few hard corners and they held up just fine.
