I have Continental ContiExtremeContact DWS and really happy with them - cheap, grippy, etc.

I guess your "honesty" opinions/comments is defined as can not be negative. So i guess you preffer me telling how how guiness u are coming up with a powerful brake system that no cars manufacturers ever discovered it before with 4 pistons in the front and back?

. Now you really crossed the line and called me a beer! It's really hard to sound smart when your post is full of gems likes this.

My apologies to the OP for this uncalled-for thread jack.

Lets put what you said about me aside, show me that you have had a positive or nice comment to say about anyone else on this board or their car. Your posts show how bitter you really are.
Ummm.... I received a Klinh compliment

lol, It happens so rarely that you could remember exactly when it did. I remember saying to myself " This is a miracle!" when I read that post. You'll be hard pressed to find another one.

It's frame worthy.


Poor OP, he had no idea what his thread was going to turn into.

I think it's odd that these two guys have done more mods then any other 2 people on this forum.

Yes, they have both added a wealth of DIY threads and information to this forum, hats off to both of them for that. Personality wise, like apples to oranges. I've made my observations in the past, nothings changed.

There are a few others that have done a boat load of mods as well, Dyno and Klihn are the most vocal though. I'll be in the mix soon enough, just waiting on the slow boat from China, I mean Canada...

I'm the newbie, and it's ok. Kind of good comedy reading thru the thread. I apologize for going MIA after posting. I thought I would get e-mail alerts to my Outlook when people responded, and when I didn't I figured no one responded. Today I put on Bridgestone RE960's in the rear, they have a tread rating in the 400's. Last set was RE760's. Problem is, no matter what I put on, I cannot get more than 8000 miles out of the rears. Don't drive it hard, tires are properly inflated, car is in alignment, they just don't last. Went to MB dealer and they told me that's normal, I think they're full of sh_ _. Does anyone else experience such poor wear out of their rear tires?
