They're fine for summer use. If you're approaching the limits of your tires regularly on normal roads, then you should be in jail anyway.

And if you're going to be tracking it, might as well go for some wider tires.

Thanks salesman

the salesman also screwed up and told me i was getting a 10yr./100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty so the dealer had to honor it. they payed $1400 for an extended warranty to take my 3yr/36000 to a 10yr/100000

congrats. im in the market for a new car now..selling my GTS, initially im going for the new genesis coupe, but i may look into a used 09-10 ralliart. my concern was insurance being too high and with gas prices rising as we go into the summer, dumping premium gas and probably a 40-50 buck fill up i wasnt really feeling. but im still taking it into consideration

i was gonna get the apex silver but the closest one to me was in texas we only had one black one in town w/recaros. my dealer flew a driver out to millwakee to drive mine here.was crazy theres not that many around here especially if you want certain color or package.they kept trying to sell me a sportback and they had a brand new left over 08 evo they where trying to sell me too.

My brother-in-law drives a big 4 door ford 4X4. He going from driving that to driving my RA is like getting on a crotch rocket.

Congrats on the car, and the warranty...assuming you don't void it.
