Cool My S got new rubber.

Well, as the title says, the Sport Maxx TT's got installed today. Alignment was all out of spec (I'll post the sheet later), so I also got it aligned.

The rear tires are just as wide as the OEM, but the fronts are at least 3/4" wider each!!! That's 1-1/2" wider track up front. Handling was greatly improved right away. I need to drive around a bit to break them in and then do some twisties to see how the car feels. So far, the car is quieter than before on the highway.

The left front was ok. The right front was messed-up. The rear was not too bad. Now everything is up to speck.

I need to resize that file.

Performance Chassis in Cary. The owner is an avid racer and the crew know their stuff.

Sweet, I'll be needing an alignment soon and have been wondering where to go.
