thinner is better. 225 or 235 is right. I have 235 but also AWD so I wouldn't go any larger on your car

Things like FMIC should be shipped to your office and installed. She would never notice.

yea think andres is still there

the thinner the tire the more weight onto that smaller patch so it can push into the snow and ice and gain more traction. but conversely less traction when its dry so youll be slipping when u try to speed off. i was surprised tho that the 225 held up to the dinan. it would slip but not as much as i thought. id say go no higher than 235. plus im not going to try and get my best 0-60 in the winter

Try calling them. With Julius out of country to get married, they may be a bit slow returning pm's. Frank can help you too.

yeah, I can do that too... I mean I met Andre at A&L so I'd rather ask someone to do me a favor who knows of my existance. Ryan has helped me before but I know he has NO clue who I am. Maybe I'll mention C-los's name... he'll probably expect a BJ though since Los spoils him.

change your oil, replace your filters, check the overall car for any misalignment etc, make sure the car is up to date.

wait you want the car for a week??? Laurel usually want the car back 24hours after the car was finished or something like that
