z34_nut Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 woo ee, but i heard about traction problems, have you solved any with these new tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timg Posted March 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 nope. It'll still spin them in a straight line. Traction is much better around corners though. If I hadn't gotten all season tires, I might have been a bit better off. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timg Posted March 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 The tires were mounted onto the wheels before they shipped. I just put them on the car myself. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Looking good! I love the view in that neighborhood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timg Posted March 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Thanks guys. My parents just retired and moved there. The area and the view were one of the reasons they liked the house. It really is a beautiful area. The funny thing is that I was just trying to get good pics of the car, in most of them the background just happened!
