I'm considering buying nothing and driving the vibe until it dies. Having no payments, super cheap insurance, and almost no capital in cars is nice. Hell I've already driven it exclusively since October, it's not so bad.

It really ain't. Decent mpgs, lightweightish, with good all season tires I can't even out drive the tires on public roads. It would only fail if I tried to auto cross or track.

Only the best!!! I like the Michelin AS-3's. Virtual summer performance and they call it all season. I had those on my GTi. Michelin call it a 3 season tire actually. Not much use in winter. Normally Im winter and summer set up. 2 sets of wheels etc. For an all season the AS-3's actually had nice review by both users and the press/testing.

I have ran as3 all seasons, including only 2 inches of snow. Below freezing, I feel like I pumped it to 50 psi and if you drive like a retard with snow on the surface, you will get a bad understeer. But I live in a state where they close everything on conditions that even a Honda CRV is capable of these days.

Wow. The RS and STI are better? Jaysus. Also. 300 HP going to the front wheels.... at $34 grand.... yikes. He's right about the aftermarket stuff, you start adding too much you'll get diminishing returns because FWD.

I wanted those, but they were too pricey at the moment.

The latest cheapo Kumho ballz seasons are pretty damn good. Not quite AS3 in the warm but ridiculously cheap and possibly better in the cold. Ecsta 4XII. Was $458 for the :poorvette: set and they're $271 for a 215 front :225: rear Poorsche setup, assuming I ever buy a car.
