35% Tint
'Vatozone Mudflaps
Bridgestone RE050 Pole Postion 245/45/18

this pic is my favorite so I posted twice...oops

Went with a 45 series tire for the street. I love these tires and they are surprisingly quiet at speed. 45 series??? Don't freak.... we have terrible roads here and the extra sidewall helps. Car still corners great with the Bridgestones'. I might have lost a bit of turn in but now I can cruise 200 RPM's less than before. For the track I'll go with 35 series on 19's. The flaps are temporary 'till I can get the OE

Any rubbing at full lock or scraping on big bumps? Looks like the perfect ride height with stock suspension

uhhh a little bit. Not too bad though. You really have to crank the wheel to rub.

It does look darker in some light. I had to go with 35%. Any more and I'd get hassled when I drive into CA...which is often

Doh! I'm tempted to go with 45's.. but more tire weight, rubbing, and more snow getting caked in the wheel well makes it a tough choice.

Not sure what the weight difference is. I couldn't find the A-13's on tire rack's website for the specs to compare. No biggie I'll probably have seperate snow tires as well. I gotta' say the first 3 gears are now more 'usable' around town and tight turns, cruises easier on the freeway AND seems like the gears are now more within the torque curve. I can't wait to get some engine management/mods so I can take full advantage of the new overall gear ratio
