Default holy shizzle!!!

just put on my Bridgstone G009's (185/60/14)

it's like a new car...

less road noise...NO wobble in the front end ( I still need an alignment).....and the best part....

Perfect in dry, rain, and snow! Tried all three in one day....

VERY pleased with these tires....I did notice about a 1 mpg drop tho.....but well worth the switch.....

Glad to read you've found some great handling tires.

In checking out the specs at tire rack the rev's per mile are close enough to be nominal. However, these tires are not LRR (Low Rolling Resistance) expect a big MPG hit when you try driving in the hyper MPG range.

You'll still be driving one of the most fuel efficent vehicles on the road so enjoy

HTH!

Default yeah....kinda figured....

I just miss the days of my lowered, Koni adjustable, anti-sway, 235/45/17 '98 civic HB.......trying to find a happy medium I guess....

It DOES handle ALOT better now.....I'll just have to frown the 5 mpg and grin around corners!

:twisted:
