Default This morning, Camaro SS convertible vs. TT...

He was 2 lanes over from me at a light. I didn't know he was going to take off, but he did. I didn't get a good launch, but I was right with him the whole time. I heard his tires squeeling twice as he changed gears. We were even the whole time until he left off and I went past him. The specs on the SS convertible are 325HP and 350 ft/lbs tourqe. I thought he should have been able to walk away from me. Maybe he was a bad driver

Default They seem pretty good so far. I haven't really driven the car to hard with them on though...

I wanted to make sure they were broken in. I don't know if it's my imagination, but the car seems like it handled a little better with my RE040's. For instance, if I turn the steering wheel side to side, like going through a slalom, it seems to react a little slower. Maybe it's because the tires are not broken in yet? Also, the sidewall definately looks bigger on the Kumho's as it was on the Bridgestone's. I don't know if that makes a difference in how the car rolls side to side.

Grip improves after a few hundred miles.

Is the hole very holish or really holey?
