Talking Summer tires on and ready to go!

Wow what a difference from riding on snow tires...feels like a sports car again. Also installed my DCI this weekend (already had the PPK tune installed) and feels a lot more snappy off the line...also installed the CYBA scoops and the black kidney grills, and the front splitters...black is beautiful when its clean!

Sorry about the blackberry picture quality...

Threw mine back on this last weekend too! So much happier with the stickiness and how awesome they look too! Was tired of the stock 08 wheels on mine!

Same boat as you two, Put them on two weekends ago when it was 75. and now it's 30. Fingers crossed no late snow up here in Cleveland. It's easy to throw the summers on when it gets warm, not so easy to put the winters on in the snow ;0)

Mine go on this weekend. 3/31/12. Was below 30 here also this morning, but it will slowly warm up as we get into April. No worries here.

I grew up in Maple... Worked in Woodbridge for a few years before moving down south.

Let's just say I don't miss the ice scraping, salt and the snow tires

And if i havent rubbed it in enough, ... I've been driving top down for two months now with perfect 18-24C weather!!

Having said that, T.O. Can't be replaced...
