Actually you will be, they really don't grip for crap. Decent and cheap winter tire though.

They grip well for all seasons if you compare them to RE92's, coming from the stockers on the evo... I remember I just got them put on last year. I took the on ramp to 66 at about 75-80 (which was no problem on the stock tires) and I think I slid almost in the next lane before the car straightened out.

You'll be parking the evo for the winter why didn't you just get summer tires.

well that doesn't sound too bad for all-seasoners.... I just thought about it and realized that having the car sit there for 4 months is highly unlikely. It will be a decent tire to run if I decide to have any snow fall fun in a parking lot and in the meantime, I may be able to save up for RE01A's for the summer. I just couldn't afford them right now. I got these shipped for 420. Not bad at all. The summer tires i want are about twice that I appreciate the heads up though, I'll probably have to just relearn the cars extremes with these tires to make sure I don't surprise myself by going over them. Anything will have more dry traction than what I have now though

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

P and I are around if anyone is bored today/tomorrow, give a yell

Oh, and I was wondering if anyone around snowboards? P is pretty good and I can't go this season...so if anyone is up for a trip let me know as I think P is pretty anxious to hit the slopes.

And sadly, I could only take on 16 5yr olds in a fight. I think the whole being knocked up thing really put me at a disadvantage

29! That's probably only true if it were a video game and one kick would send the kid flying across the room.

Well, you are fighting 5 year olds, I'm sure they couldn't take more than 1-2 hits before falling down and crying.

Jenn, I've never even been skiing and my balance sucks. Sorry.

It's sad when one of your kin is first unjustly imprisoned and then shot dead just for fighting for freedom. This is a sad moment for me.

I realize you were identifying with the tiger, but I was very seriously thinking something along the lines of something much more tragic...although killing a protected species is a pretty sad thing.

Glad that your human family is OK though, I was worried for you for a moment there
