Ive been looking at some star specs for this summer. But worry about the tire wear. I drive about 5-600 miles/month. What are some other good tires that arent bank breaking?

if your looking for that class of tire, thats the best bang for your buck tire. 500-600 miles a month isnt bad specially if your using it only as a summer tire. im driving about 12k miles a year.

Yep only as a summer tire.

On another note tho, I took my TP off today. And somehow about an hour after driving with the stock cat my car threw a CEL. I cant figure out why either. I went and loosened and retorqued all the bolts again and took the 02 sensor out and retorqued that. Now im hoping itll go away.

Its running fine. Except on ocassion mostly at cold starts it bobs the idle for a second or two. Its not bad enough to be like its choking out. And the car runs fine otherwise. Ugh.

Let me know if the CEL doesn't go off - I have a scanguage that we can use to read and reset it.

I think im talking to him. But hes using the stock exhaust, not sure how thatll flow w/70mm tp.

My CEL went out today, but before i could be happy about it i heard a high pitch sqeeking coming from the rear. It seems now the right muffler is against the bumper.
