tires

I run the Toyo Proxy T1s 215/40/17. They are fast,hold well in the rain and have even rarely run them in the snow. They give a good comfortable ride and wear very well. I use the slightly different size because there are many more choices for the MCS in that size. I think I paid $125/tire. I also run the the same tire in the S series on my Porsche 911, and have been very happy with those.They really like holding in the corners. In any event you will be happier without the runflats.

Yeah Jason, missed you at CooGie's Saturday - I parked in a still-warm space occupied only minutes earlier by Richard Dean Anderson's MINI (MCGyver)...

Only club event we're doing before Monterey is breakfast at Ruby's in Long Beach this Saturday. Maybe see you then, otherwise, the Monterey trip!

GSD3's are pretty nice - Erik Sharp has 'em on his car.
