New tires...Wow

I had some new donuts installed on the car and am very happy, the old ones were Pirelli P zero's, they sucked, noisiest tire sounded like a truck. I had Continental Extreme contact DWS installed and they transformed the car. They are whisper quiet, hope they stay that way.

Between fixing the headliner rattle and these tires the car is extremely enjoyable to drive. I really really like this car. Looking into ceramic brake pads as I've never seen pads that dust like the ones on there now.

I have the same tires and love them as well. I had tried Hankook Venta V12s and took them off after only 3 days. They felt like I was driving on slick pavement.

I had Pzero neros on my car with my 19s before and they were loud and tramlined like crazy in the rain. Very scary!
