I just fell out of my chair. Thats hilarious!
Oh yea, i'm purchasing Jordans MKW M72s from him, so i'll be wearing them next spring; with a slight change-up. About the same price as new rubber which i'll need in the spring anyway... 32 000 Kms is a good lifespan for these cheap pirellis eh?

man you guys knock pirellis? factory tire for the front of a lambo (factory size fronts are 215/4518) there are other good tires but I found them to be consistent and decent tire wear for the performance they provide. IMO I would be happy to have them again but would have like to try others just for the sake of doing so. I bought pirellis off other people who thought they were junk for real cheap. got 5 tires for less than buying 1 new tire. and they all were around 8/32's! good deal.

i thought these tires were junk i found them noisy, shitty in rain and not very good traction.

Heck yes! I was originally going to buy some MKW M72s in full chrome, but decided against it, because the extra chrome on would just be gaudy. And i wasn't about to buy brand new tires/wheels just to repaint them, but Jordans oppurtunity can't be passed up! Sweetness!
And to Asphalt Assault, yes, a lot of people bash these tires, but they are cheap in price too. I looked at getting some nice Michelins, but figured $400 a tire was too much just to burn them off. So in the future, i will possibly get pirellis again, but only because they are a fair summer tire. (Though i was eyeing up some nice BFGoodrichs!)

And Chad, i definately agree on the crappy in the rain and low traction situations...

I'm running a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R and i couldn't be happier. Getting up there in price but the grab pretty fn good. Don't think they will last to long though.

I'm interested to see how the KDW's hold up. Does anyone here have them on?

And Tanya, I went to Rosetown today, got my front end clunking (sway bar endlink) and rear deck rattling (loose clips) fixed and an oil change. Definitely better customer ratio. Burned a tank of gas though - woke up "late" (6AM) and found some cop bait driving 170 to follow...

when i had to get a new tire i was quoted at $400 per tire at every place i called in saskatoon for the pirellis

come see me. i will get you a decent price on some rubber
and the pirelli's are a pretty damn expensive tire. for the price you can get 2 kdw's which perform a hell of a lot better

alpine_canada put some on a couple weeks ago and seems to love them.

Thats the way to do it! The bombers have a whining retard for a coach too, he was on the FM radio the other day when i just happened to be listening to it, and all he did was whine and complain about everything.

Brock, thanks! I will definately keep you in mind. I got quoted $320 for the same pirellis from Kal Tire in Brandon, but can get them out of the states for $150 a piece too. I think Jordan said he's still got 70% rubber remaining, so that will probably last me one more season, i think.

I think i'm the only one with KDW's right now. I have 235/40R18's and couldn't be happier. Just all around great traction on everything.

Umm Chad, sorry to burst your bubble, but there is no way that you pulled 275lb ft of torque, someone messed up the dyno.
