Holy ****!!

i hate the cobalt ls's low roll resistance tires. **** THIS RAIN

so here it goes. im coming around a pretty wide corner. and all of a suddent my front tires ******* dissapear. i go striaght into the side walk jump the curb, smash my rim, blow my tire. and practicly have a heart attack at 16.

im NEVER going to use these tires again. im getting new rims. 18x8 and getting the widest tires and best grip.

i though i was gonna die. wtf stock tires..

please dont flame me im still shooken up
