SOoooo much better

When I bought my car, it had Kuhmo Ecsta Supras on it (18"). Driving it home, I thought it sounded like the rear brakes were sticking, worn out, and dragging the rivets on the rotors. Of course, the PPI told me that this was not the case. I also had a minor vibration at higher speeds. I suspected that either the tires were not balanced properly, or the tires had flat spots due to the cars relatively low mileage.

Today I got Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics put on. The noise is gone. These tires are very quiet. The ride is a bit more harsh, but I'm fine with that. The vibration is gone too.

In order to check if the vibration was gone or not, I jumped on the highway real quick - for about 2 miles. I was following a truck on the on ramp, so my speed was limited. When I was able to get past him, I accelerated slightly and thought I was doing around 50mph at that point. I looked at the speedo and it said I was doing 70! Damn. It's gonna be hard not to speed now.

Needless to say, I'm happy. Hopefully, they'll be good on the track next week.
