I've never used the ASX but people seem to like them for the $. I have used the Sumitomo in the past, it was a good tire for the money as well. Its really up to you...

I'm running Blizzak ws-50 in 235s. Just get yourself a dedicated snow tire. I'll last your a number of years while your're up here at school.

I finally had some time this weekend to do some fine tuning after the fuel pressure line was fixed. It seemed pretty good so I left it as is. This morning I wanted to do a final pull to see if the cold made it too lean (it did ). I was coming off the on ramp onto the 30 bypass in 3rd gear at around 3K RPM. No cars coming so I floored it. It started accelerating, then the boost kicked in hard around 4K and and I was going sideways at about 60 MPH. Scared the hell out of me but I was able to pull it back straight right away. I had to laugh at how stupid I was for forgetting a descent amount of power and ice don't work well together. I miss summer already.

^ What tires are on your car Josh. I bet its more the tires not having any heat in them more so than the ice. I'm sure the bypass is dry by now. I know in my car if I jump on it in the morning whens its cold like this I look like Tanner Faust out there. Its scared the hell out of me before.

what is bad is that i've been out of school for almost 4 years and still i have dreams of being close to graduation around finals time. and i didn't realized that i was enrolled in some advance math class that i skipped all semester and have to take the final. that's never happened to me in real life.

that dream is too easy to analyze....

happy monday.

i hate the city. i got dropped off at broad and eerie today (as usual) to have to push my way through some high schoolers' brawl. then get down in the subway and have some 16 year old get all mouthy with me. i just stared at him because i wanted to push him into the tracks....he backed off. never thought i'd be beating up 16 year olds when i am nearly 30.

i get out of the subway to find news vans outside of south philly high school reporting on the violence between the asian and black kids. it's the black kids that start everything in the first place. when i am in the subway with tons of high schoolers, i stand around all the asians because they're just chill.

these high school kids need to all be put into an oven and adults should now have to apply to reproduce!
