the new rubber. 245/40/ZR19 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus $1,204 installed. Kinda pissed about the psi levels were all over the place. I had to get out the compressor and fill 2 tires with air and let a pound out of another. I know they were busy, but c'mon! They are comfortable, yet tight! No disappointments.

They got great reviews from a Seattleite who put them through that nasty storm they just had (4G TL SH-AWD HPT 6MT). The Studed snows for the RDX come in on Tuesday, I'll pick them up on Wednesday and we will be set for the next three years!

Mine is the Super Crew though. Easy way to tell is the light bar and Hella Black Magics on the front. If youre behind ive got a "RDC" sticker on the left of the rear window, and a "Bug Germinators" sticker on the right. Although I hardly ever in Beaverton anymore.

The 240 is looking good though. You still thinking about going manual?

Hey Brandon, would you be interested in helping me install Honda racks on the Pilot after xmas. Our LX has no racks so going to by the LX rack set up from Honda, but don't want to pay the dealer! lol So hoping you'd be interested cause I blow at measuring...

I nearly shit my pants when we picked Oden. I told everybody that choosing him was a huge mistake for the Blazers. Durant is a smooth, charismatic, and dynamic offensive player and Thunder coach Scot Brooks is lucky to have him. Kevin's defense is getting better too. Some have said that the Rose Garden was built on sacred ground and that is the reason why we have had so many injuries. But I do not believe in that stuff.

Wow, just read that Durant hurt his knee last night.

Durant is good but we already had lamarcus so thats why we went with the center.. i honestly didnt care for either. but oden dominated in college so it was obvious who they were going to choose.. if oden makes it back he wont even be full potential for another year after that. and even then if he doesnt get injured again he is only good to us for another 2 or 3 seasons and he will complain about his knees again. look at B-roy.. already having issues about his knee surgery..

i say we just lose all our games come in dead last so we can get a good draft pick and try to start over

^We picked Oden because he was a Mamma's boy & brought a better image to the team that, according to Paul, we desperately needed. Durant was a bad boy that T.B. management felt was too close to another Stoudemire (Nothing against Amar’e. I met him and he’s a nice guy). Roy is done. You can’t fix that knee...

On another note, Here’s the new snow tire;

I think we could build the AZ-PNW base if we had a business card with the web address and instructions on how to log in to Regions. I would print them if you all would distribute them. We might see at least a 2-3% return from sticking them on a window crack of a hot whip.

I know that Wounded Knee is in South Dakota, but you have to wonder.
FX Wheels? I'm assuming it is this style:
The 09+ are the five spoke right? What width are they, what's the hub size, offset, and bolt pattern?
EDiT: There is one on motors.ebay for $179

Those are nice. The blue nuts are a nice touch as well. Now our tire/wheel budget is gone. Too bad, they would have looked smokin' hot on my RDX too. Why upgrade now?

I like the wheels very much but main reason I bought them was to save some wheel weight from heavier oem wheels. But and when I measured my oem wheels on the scale after swapping out the wheels, they came out to be 31.5lbs compared to 40 something lbs that everyone in the FX forum thought.

And.. last week, I was just browsing around winter tires and found a wheel that was surprisingly light and cheap.



TSW Nurburgring Rotary Forged
20x8.5 +40 offset and exactly 24lbs each
$336 each + $100 discount through Discount Tire Direct

@ 24 lbs, its 7.5 lbs savings from oem wheels and 8.9 lbs savings from MRR wheels.

Personally don't like TSW, but not a bad wheel for the money. Other 20" wheels that weight around 24 lbs don't come at this price tag

^Yep, I and many others have been drooling over that wheel. Too bad there is no option for us 4G TL owners. EDiT: I almost forgot, they also work with the BBK that Josh is pushing at ex"looser"rate.

Hey Brando, where are you? I hope my drunkin Blazer ramblings didn't piss you off. If so, I'm genuinely sorry. Anyhow I enjoy our daily banter. Wow, that was kinda :theghey: Eh, um. Go Ducks!

I am around just super swamped with the furry kids.. today was the last day i had to take my male dog in for his hand job.. i coulda paid a hooker to do it cheaper then a vet.. any who the fail blazers wont be much for another year or 2 so nothing can hurt my feelings on it.. its just reality..

Min i cant believe you are selling those rims already... I was looking at the MRR for the next vehicle we get but i want a different style and in black.. the TSWs are nice though didnt think they would be lighter.. usually TSWs are heavy..
