Continentals have The Reich Stuff?

Had to.

Must be nice to be snow and ice free.

I'm putting these on my truck next week:
Goodyear*Wrangler DuraTrac

We had similiar on our dually work truck last year. They did real good in the snow and ice!

I couldn't wait until next week. I bought some chrome rims that came off an '06 (my truck is an '07) that were sitting in my laundry room all polished up and tormenting me. Plus, we got a few inches of fresh snow, and my tires were worthless.

I Have Pirelli's P Zero on my Mustang GT

P Zero's are nice for a GT.....my 2013 GT500 unfortunately has Goodyear F1's from the factory. With only 3500 miles I'll wait until the rears go then replace with 555r's on the MSS's.

I had F1 runflats on the vette and they rode like crap. Probably still had 50% tread on them but they had to go.

Had those on our Celica. Really nice tire. Quiet, rode well, good road manners. Pirelli's always surprise me, they look just meh, but perform much better than meh!

Except Audi makes hot garbage. One of my good friends is on his 3rd Audi, and he never seems to learn. He went from an A4 to an A3, and now back to an A4 S Line. Thank GOD they have been under warranty because they are ALWAYS in the shop. Most of the time it isn't something majorly mechanical but just something random breaking in the car, like the sunroof not working, powered mirrors not working, seat and center consoles falling apart because they are made of cheap plastic. My favorite was the control for the heated seats broke in the ON position. Wonderful.

Aside from the mechanical failures, Audi is making some pretty boring looking cars right now.

Far from boring looking.

Bring back the fun stuff!
