Could use the K&N from a LNF? That's what I have always figured would work good.

my cooling fan quit working.Pulled the harness up for it and it lost ground somehow.Traced the wires all the way to the ecu and they looked fine.Looked at all my other wiring and the only thing fishy was my bank 1 sensor 1 o2.I had to extend it a while ago and I guess I left it sitting on the Tstat housing and one of the signal wires was grounded out.Re wired it and loomed it up and ziptied it,and the fan works lol.Fkn computers are weird.

That's just weird that an o2 wire would stop the fan from working.

NoOOOOOOOO!

Nankangs are GOD AWFUL! they seem like the perfect tire until you have to replace them every year, they had the worst tread wear out of any car ive ever had, and they were on 3 different cars and all were not lowered or anything, and had good alignment. and ive always had cars too slow to do burnouts believe me.

They were on my 5x114/5x108 18s, on my 04 mercury sable, 94 plymouth laser and a 98 mercury sable.

why did you get them 3 times if you they're so awful?

besides, I only reserved them with a refundable deposit cuz I have nowhere to place them right now anyway...I can always change my mind.

truthfully i love my Goodyear Eagle GT's! i only have a couple thousand miles on mine with my summer wheels but no complaints here at all... pretty sticky thru turns, awesome dry AND wet traction, fairly quiet, a nice ride, and they look good. i'll definitely get them again down the road Goodyear Eagle GT (V)

I'll never buy Eagle GTs again. I completely wore out a set in 30k miles. They are heavy, expensive, acceleration traction sucks in my opinion,wet and braking traction is pretty good, they are worthless in snow or slush compare to contiexreme contact dws. Not too mention contis are lighter, quieter, better riding and cheaper. I love Contis and regret switching to try the Eagles. Never again.
