I have these tires and think they are pretty nice. I haven't had any slip in rain and it grips the road very well.

I worked at a BBQ Rib restaurant for 2 days. I was 16 and started on a Friday night. I began working in the dishroom where I was the youngest by 20+ years and the only one that spoke English. In fact, the only person that spoke "some" English kept telling me about his kidney stones and how...

Re: Heated seats in 09 GT, a huge success! (tpollauf)

I called that MI company today to get pricing on the kit and they said that it is only available for the driver side seat due to a pressure sensor in the passenger seat. They said that installing the kit on the passenger side seat may alter airbag response. Did you complete installation for both sea...

Re: gasoline (vibedrivermatt)

I too have been using 87 (along with the previous owner). My thought process was in line with Vibedrivermatt's in that the vehicle doesnt have a high compression engine so my '09 GT doesn't need a higher grade fuel. Although, if my thinking is flawed, please inform me

Tire rotation and siping. Yes, I know that many may have opinions on siping, and I had a few reservations myself with the low-profile tires. However, I must say that I have noticed an appreciable difference in ride quality.I will also be replacing headlamps later tonight...and yes, I will post pictu...
