ugh idk but i want to order tires and i cant decide between 215 or 225s
If you go for the 225's, you'll have to get 255's for the rear to keep the stagger the same...
actually, the set up i have now is incorrect stagger by running 215/245 star specs. the 215s have an 8in footprint and the 245s are 9. that makes the 215 star specs larger than the 215 re050s. the 245 star spec rears are the same width as the 245 re050s, so by getting 255s in the rear and keeping 215s in the front, i will get closer to the factory stagger. i know i am going to bring back some understeer, but i would rather that than take away from the crisp turn in i feel with the 215s. so, i went ahead and ordered the 215/255 set up...should be here in a couple days

I have enough tread on the fronts and the rears, but am thinking about replacing the rears anyway. It only takes Tire Rack three days to get tires here so I have a couple of days to think about it.

my set has about 12k miles on them and all 4 have worn very evenly. i think they could probably make the trip without a problem, but i am erring on the side of safety and putting on a fresh set. lol the other night i chirped 2nd and that really made me want to keep them on, but again, safety

Okay, I got tired of waiting for Raul to figure out how to post the list of people attending, so I made my own. See if you can find your name (see if I misspelled it).

Here you are boys and girls (or whatever), the WTD9 list: (all 229 more or less. People at the top were the last to register). If there are two people per car, about 115 cars or 10 minutes of backup on I-95 South at the Mixing Bowl on Friday afternoon.
