i just bought a set of yokohama v4s 215/55/17 (yeah i know not you arent supposed to get stock sized tires... if it were up to me i'd get 20's butttttt i paid for road hazard insurance w/o reading what it covered... :-\ so now i am stuck with it for 3 more years oh well)

it came out to 484 shipped from tirerack, i had my friend put them on for me and its prob the best 484 i have spent on my car yet. steering is sooooooooo much smoother than the stock goodyears, its not so darn stiff anymore and it feels like i am riding on air, feels more luxurious. even my mom likes it! she didnt like my car at first cuz it was stiff and she drives an expedition which is pretty loose

just thought i'd share my experience

havnet gotten a chance to launch my car yet only has less than 100 miles on them but i ll let you know how it feels when i do!

when i raced the IS (350 of course) he pulled on me everytime cuz i was slipping gonna give it another whirl see if i can keep up, hes got intake exhaust now so we shall see
