I'm a beginer, so forgive the simple gereral question--But I'm hearing negitive things about the pirelli tires. Can someone tell me what the deal is and what brand(s) I should look at.

Thanks,

Default Got me, too.

Let's at least tell this person that the Pirelli tires are generally considered to be total junk and he or she might search for replacements immediately using Paul's helpful link.

Default Don't you guys look at the "status bar" before you click a link??

The little bar in the bottom of your browser... The Status Bar tells you where a link goes when you hover your mouse pointer over it.

Well most links, developers can disable this feature with JavaScript...

That status bar has saved me many uneeded round trips to the <a href="http://allroadfaq.com/" target="_new">all you need to know about allroads page</A>

and ftw I like <a href="http://search.audiworld.com/" target="_new">this search link</a> better than <a href="http://search.audiworld.com/search.html" target="_new">this search link</a>, really.

Default <thread jack> How are you liking Nokians? Have

you had a chance to "use" them yet. I love mine. I know I should remember this, but I'm still in disbelief what a good tire does for you in the snow/ice.

looks like we may be needing them for a little while tomorrow.

Default A pretty good hum, but the vol **** takes care of that. I have not

noticed a loss of traction that has caused a nasty lump in my stomach. I have hammered pretty good from a stop with a lot better hookup than I expected. I have not done the reverse of that (standing on the brake pedal) yet. So for $129ea I am very happy with my choice.
Now for the hard sell to my wife on a new summer set up. I am sure $2k would be easy, but just over twice that will be a bit harder. Hmmm, maybe time to make that collage student pay his own way for a while
