on the contrary, j's life is full of win

 

 

So got some new tires today. It is amazing how two tires of the same size from different companies can fit so differently. I previously had Continental ExtremeContact DW and I loved them but they stopped making them in my sizes I needed. So I switched to Hankook Ventus V12 this time as the M3 community seemed to love them. The new rears look almost like they are 305 I just don't get the gratification of having 305 printed on the side of my tires.

Old tires were a little worn.


Rear jacked up.

Definitely going to need to roll the fenders now.

 

I like

 

Hankook definitely isn't US meat

 

Looks awesome!

 

I had those tires on my mazda. I like! Them some wide boys!

 

Love the PAM

 

Your conti DWS look fine.

Of course, I run my tires bald.

 

The Hankooks are from Korea.

But they look great. I loved them when I had them on my car.

 

I knew that was just making a joke

Fronts were worn into the 2nd layer of rubber and rears down to the wear bars in the middle.

I wish I could say it was a PAM but not on that level yet maybe someday. It is a Lum-Tec M25 Tungsten.

 

lulz at venison.

 

Not amused

 

 

 

 

 

You just now noticed the venison change lol.

 

Suicidal deer....

 

Definitely different sizes between different manufacturers. I was shocked at how heavy some tires are compared to others depending on manufacturer too even in the same tire size.

 

So finally got around to getting my fenders rolled yesterday. It is nice to have no more rubbing. I should have gotten it done earlier so I didn't have so many scratches on my lip.

Also I am going to need new brakes soon and since I don't know when they were done and I have put 50k miles on them now. I can get 2 piece rotors now and it will cost me 2x as much as 1 piece rotors however from there on out it will cost the same to get the replacement pieces. The 2 piece rotors are only slotted though and the 1 piece rotors are drilled. Already know that I am getting Project Mu NS pads as they create very little dust and stop better than the OEM pads.

 

Young grasshoppah.

Reaction time...you must learn first.

Attention. You must pay.

Or venison. Will be bestowed upon thy glorious blue paintz.

 

i :loved: my evos those things were so meaty and hooked like glue

 

Yeah I haven't tried to do a burnout with them on but flooring it from a stop I can't get them to spin at all. Guess I need more power

 

The only tire Ive had that sticks more then the Hankooks are Dunlop Star Specs.

 

Just saw your first post, nice pickup with that IS-F the TSX is hot too.

 

Shot I took the other day.

 

Slick!

 

I really like that pic.

You need to do something with your headlights .

 

Ended up making some desktop sizes of the above picture.

1440x900

1600x900

1920x1200

 

It's crazy thinking that your car shares the same platform with something as innocent as the IS250. Yours just looks so much more... crazy.

 

 

Lovin the car.

 

lookin good

 

I look forward to reading your thoughts on the M5 or CTS-V

 

or RS4

 

:aman:

 

I can officially say bye bye to my ipod. This shit is so awesome. I will be picking up one of these the day it is released. The guys at VAIStech are amazing.

 

Yeah that thing is awesome. It has a deer tracking device installed. Saw a clip of it on youtube.
