      I just picked up a set of bridgestone potenza G009s from firestone today... great on dry dirt, gravel, and tarmac so far. Little sloppy on wet gravel, but that's expected of any non-gravel tire. Still waiting for some rain or snow to see how they do on that.
      Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far the wall moves after you hit it.

      I went with a set of Gislaved Nord Frost 3, 175/65/14 on the stock steelies.

      Talk about GRIP!!! I was having fun trying to slide everywhere and couldnt!! I have been trying to get the car stuck all winter, no luck so far, Before I put them on the stockers would get me stuck at the end of my driveway.

      They did come with a bit higher of a price of 410 bucks installed taxes in, but at 92 bucks a tire i got quoted for both crappy tire and wallymart both couldnt beat the price for there no name brands...

      I m extremely happy!!!!

      my winter setup is the same as all my other season's setups....17x7's with 205/40/17 hanook's, surprisingly they work in the snow last year and this year so far....winter driving is based on a bit of skill

      When i get a chance im going to be throwing on the 185/65R14 Nokian WRs i had on my Horizon onto my wave. They are mounted on some cheep aluminum rims already so all i need to is jack up the Horizon and swap on the steel wheels that it came with before sending it off to the junkyard. But next season im probably going to throw on some Nokian RSis on the same Core Racing wheels or the steel wheels that the car came with..havent decided yet.
