new shoes for Stu!

Wahoo! Finally some new tires for the coche. I decided to ditch the runflats and went w a really nice set of Michy summer performance tires, instead. I should get some good time behind the wheel this weekend and will post pics and a roadrep!

this past weekend was hurricane weather for us in maryland. i have run flats on my mini and realized how horrible they are in the rain. i used have to continental extreme contact dws on my scion tc right before i traded it in for the mini. those tires are amazing. i highly recommend them for all season tires!! :D

Ok, I'm back after a 180mi run of awesomeness. Can't believe how much quieter the car is and how the handling has improved. Granted, I've gone from (badly) worn run-flats to summer performance tires....
but! Here's the route and a pic of Stu...
