I love them. They have ridiculous amounts of grip in the dry. The wet is a different story. While I haven't hydroplaned them, I've had them slip shifting into 3rd gear on my stock Y7 :shock:

I really wish I could try out those 215's.. I wonder how much difference there is over the 205's and if the extra width is worth the extra sidewall flex on 7'' wide wheels

I can tell you the difference from 205 to 225 is awesome ;) These tires are well worth it although the price seems to have gone up recently. I think I picked mine up for ~80/tire. They're $103/tire on TireRack now :???: (225/45-16 that is)

Looks fantastic, but im STILL trying to figure out your throttle cable setup.. im really confused lol. why didnt you just loop it around the cruise control area and back across the front of the tb?

Hahahaha. Well what happened was I have a Y7 engine. When I did the Y8 IM swap, it didn't come with the throttle bracket. And since you have to have a bracket for the throttle cable to work properly I just reused the Y7 bracket except inverted and mounted to my strut bar ;) I think the cable wasn't quite long enough for wrapping it around the normal way. I don't really remember it was a while ago :lol:
