The roads were awesome at 9pm last night.. I think I'm sticking with Hankook tires for the life of my car. First messy commute since putting them on and they were awesome. I was passing folks who were doing 5mph at like 45mph.

I pulled into WaWa on Fayette St. in Conshy and this kid in his 95 Nissan Maxima w/ exhaust, HID's and what looked like (in the dark) Michelin Blizzak's was doing donuts in the empty lot. I would have gotten pix but the freezing rain was still coming down pretty consistently at that time. Anyway, I was hitting those corners and curves like my name was Jay-Z (he dates/____s/engaged to Beyonce)

Tire Specs:
Front - Hankook Ventus V4 ES H105
Rear - Yokohama AVID H4s

PS: I need details on the flat-black TRD wheels that were on the Scion tC at the Philly Auto Show in Scion's display area. Also... while I was at the auto show, this kid was being arrested (I think) for trying to steal shift ***** off cars. I noticed in the Scion area, none of the cars had shift *****, were they intentionally left off?

why do you have the tires mix matched. thats usually a great way to upset the balance of the car. though maybe it upset it the right way and took some under-steer away.

imnot lookin forward to going to work today

Well, the rear tires have only been on for 11 months and have about 80% tread left - still has cilia (what i call those rubber fingers on brand-new tires) on the sides. I was dangerously low in the front so I replaced them when I could (but I'm planning to swap the rears out with the same Hankook tires). It also didn't make sense to replace all four tires which would have cost me around $400 when I'm going up to 18" wheels this summer.

There doesn't seem to be any difference in driving with "mix matched" tires... they're the same size just different tread. Actually, they're almost identical and driving is much improved since I have good tires all around.

PS: I typed "Scion TRD" in my browsers address bar and it took me directly to trdsparks.com
