actually i can say many roads in United States are worse than many Third World Country!!!

they ride on dirt though...

you guys should see the roads in japan. i think someone told me before that they're made of old tires and it's just like driving on newly paved road!

I think its the mixture of asphault and rubber scraps...so the rubber scraps makes it sofer, absorb more tire/road noise, more grip, and better endurance to heat expansion and contraction!

Shazmonkee · 01-25-2008, 02:06 AM

that foo has it on his signature too. SHOW YOURSELF E92 335!!

LOLrance · 01-25-2008, 02:09 AM

Doesn't Miro make replicas of other wheels. So Jlevi is selling a replica of a replica?

Probably they cost more and difficulty to mix it as the same "spec" as Japanese does.....dunno why...
if it cost more...the FUCKiNG bean counters in the state budget accounting will just threw it away...they never see long term benefits.....

Yes I heard the roads are great but that's because all of them are toll roads. Expensive, frequent tolls everywhere. Europe had plenty of tolls and great roads also.

Roads in OC are better than LA though.
