HAHA Mine are bald too,


You got some slicks there! LOL

I just spent a night working on my car! Felt good to finally have a play!. Fixed a few minor issues that have been bugging me. Needs a good wash and polish though! Maybe that can be the weekend job!

No need for slicks unless you have some big mumbo under the bonnet Stedz, just drop the stockers down to 20 PSI or less.


cheers Keith

P.S. Don't be like me & run 35 PSI as this id what happens
