That should make them at least a little bit easier to clean, and keep clean. [thumb]

Is there any particular reason that you went with the 205/40 Neo Gens instead of the wider 215/40s?
Are you planning on slamming it, maybe?
Thas factory size, but i wish I had got 215s to fill the wheels up a little more. Next time. But now that i have looked it seems these 205s are the cheapest performance option. 215s jump to $160, these were $100.

I finished up my garage projects with some touch up paint on the hood and I put in the rear front subframe bushings. The fronts had weird bolts I don’t have sockets for so I’ll probably just have my shop put them in before an alignment. Also my Raptor battery is dead so I can’t get it out of the garage and put my Cadillac away.

My nine year old snow tires don't really have enough tread left to be useful in the Winter snows. (because tread depth is key) So... think about it... how would you treat them? 😈

Unfortunately I haven't yet taken the time to repair most of the damage from the hit and run so handling is tricky. But I can still make a fair bit of noise on take-offs! 😈

They show them out of stock until mid June, but TR has the 215s listed for the 'usual' ->(at most of the internet retailer prices) $125.00 each, currently.

I want to burn up (but not with a smoke show, just with regular use) my now 8 year old Altimax Arctic 12s as well, since they are 'aging out' rapidly, but they still have plenty of tread depth left. :(

Why they are still on the car now, and not my pure summer, 200 tread wear stickies (the recent cold spell, especially at night, has also influenced this as well).

Front brakes done. Went Ford summer pads and EBC rotors, no drill or slot. New slide pin boots, pins were actually in excellent shape. Wiped em down and re-greased. Did about 6 30-10 and 6 50-15 hard braking and drove for about 20 minutes. Seems happy and the coating from the EBC rotors cleaned right off. Sucked out the brake fluid from the reservoir and put fresh stuff in. The pressure bleeder kit I bought didn't have an adapter that fit the Fiesta even though it explicitly stated it came with one. Returning that thing and just gonna have a shop bleed it all out with some Bosch fluid.

I store each individual tire/wheel in a garbage bag. My spare, I'll coat the sidewalls with silicon spray before bagging them. Minimize air and ultra-violet/heat exposure, minimizes oxidation. They've aged extremely well! Shouldn't be rolling snow tires 90+ but keeping the hand out the cookie jar so-to-speak. I tone it down on hot pavement for sure.
