Just got back from a 390 mile mountain drive all went great till we stopped at Mosquito Lake,CA I kept hearing this strange noise, but the car was not running. The noise got louder and then I saw the cowboy hat going up and down between the trees, then I knew what that noise was COW BELLS. I lost count at a little over 300 so I would guess 425 to 450 head, so we waited till they passed. For those who don't know where Mosquito Lake is, it is on Hwy 4 up at around 8000 feet and the road is 1 1/2 lanes wide(thats why there is no center line) so we had to wait for the damn cows to go by.

Well I can say these FFI 500 tires suck big time on cow-crap and piss. Even at 7 MPH the car pushed in the turns, this lasted for 4 miles. After we got through the cow-crap and piss the tires worked good again on dry pavement. I just hope they work better in the rain than they did on cow-crap and piss. We washed the car at the first car wash we drove by, I got the side of the car and the wheel wells clean but I think the first time it rains my wifes S is going to smell like the country(and we're city folk).

Yeah,
The Firestone's don't like cow crap but they ride so smooth. We ran the car up to 135 and it was just as smooth as it is at 70. We are going on a 2500+ mile drive in a week or so and when we get back I'll update my thoughts on these Firestone's.
