    That section of exposed cord on the inside is for increased traction in hard cornering.

        what % is the change from 195/60 to 195/65?

        Buyin a Honda fitment probably makes it easy to find deals!

            I was actually chatting with the Service Manager at the local BMW dealership about tires and he was saying how amazed he was at how many will plop down $50k for a new X5, then bitch and moan when somebody recommends snow tires. People are just dumb.

              I guess if your tires need replaced on 'weaves, go for the 195/60.....it'll almost do the same as a 3.91 in a 325i (4.8% versus 3.3%) but actually saves $$$. :D

                      Seriously, are you on crack? Those wouldn't pass an on track inspection, nor would they be legal for road usage, I'd be amazed if they even held air.

                      C'mon guys, I was just messin around.
                      I've had these cheap-o street tires for over 2 months.


                      ;) Just thought I'd post up the wear.

                        If some motherfucker with bald tires goes into a skid and kills someone I care about, you'd better believe I'm going to make him eat his own dick before I send him to the Underworld :evil:

                        Get some fucking tires and grow up.

                          Damn. That was seriously one of the most hardcore things I've ever heard.

                                I did it. My car kicks ass. As Rob says people bitch about looks, but screw that.

                                195/60/14 Azenis own. Don't worry about rain either, they'll take HIGH speeds with plenty of standing water. I just wouldn't try it when they start to wear. :shock:
