Quote: I tried that brand but the overal diam. was too much and i couldn't get 255/30/20 I tried to beat sumitomo's overal diam w/ a tire that i can flip when need it. Handkook was smaller in diam. and i could flip them to make them last longer. I can't flip sumitomo's. I would have love to have the NT555. But the overal diam was 27.07 and the width was also too big as well.
I was happy with my V12s before they wore out then there was just no grip, my rears i got only 10k out of but im pretty hard on my tires, my fronts i got on still im probably going to get the life expectancy out of them. The outsides are just about bald but thats because of my driving habits the inside and middle of the tire still got a bit of meat on them. So for front tires i wouldnt mind them but for rears i went through em to fast for my liking. Now i have Conti Extreme Contact DWS and im very happy with them not the stickiest but its an all season tire. Im getting a ton of life out of them and id say ive been harder on these then my V12s. (ask V and Aaron what i was doing when we had our photoshoot lol).

I loved the V12's when I had them on my Ray's 19. Good grip with good wet traction.

What is the symptoms? Reason i ask is just two days ago after getting a clamp put on my exhaust I was driving away from the shop. All the sudden I hear this metal clunking sound going over any little bump and on top of it i started to bottom out and rub ( which never has happened no matter how big the.bump was for the past 2 years). So immediately i think its my spl A arms hitting somehow, I have lutz look at it and everything is fine. We test the stiffness of the shocks and they.are bouncy, so its either my shocks.are blown or i need new ball joints. Im leaning towards new shocks

Tonight has been a total fail so far, and I'm sure some of you are secretly enjoying that fact.

Take a breath, take a break and try again with a fresh mind. Working on cars can be frustrating!

Hope it works out

An update on my car:

So state farm came out yesterday actually, said my car was not totalled.. but then the next day said that they are now considering that it might be totaled and my body shop has to fill a form out....a week went by and now they are getting to the same conclusion? Called our agent and got a call from a supervisor to get State Farm to move their a$$es, we have been with them for 30 years and they are giving us headaches freaking guy who hit me insurance totaled it already. If the guy had 15k of insurance id have a new car last weekend lol.

I'll make you guys feel better! I paid $4.99 a gallon for gas tonight, it was great, best 90 bucks I've spent in a while. The sad part is I was going to get gas on Tuesday morning and it was $4.59 but i decided to wait.
