Yeah. Your car's package tho, with the green and the ramz make up for the blobfish front end.troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 3:38 pmThe other reason I really don't care about this shit is that the 86 front end is by far the ugliest of the FR-S, early BRZ, late BRZ, and 86 cars. Toyota dun fucked up. The 17+ BRZ looks waaaaaay better. With the big ass front plate it's a lot less noticeable
Continental snow tarz were ordered today, gonna get them mounted on Thursday and have the stock Prius tarz moved to my SSR for next June. I wimped out and got the ice tires instead of the performance winters, hopefully they are tolerable in the dry/wet conditions they'll see 95+% of the time.

Anyone have license plate frame ideas? I am going to remove the ones, leaning toward plain black plastic but something fun could be
Currently sitting at Firestone waiting for snow tire installation... It's been nice knowing you guys.

I usually go for a simple black frame.

The stock 215s must run really narrow, these 205s look at least as wide as those. Also, there is way less road noise than stock with these - those primacies must be the worst tire made under the Michelin name. No grip, squeal like crazy, tons of road noise, and 240 treadwear...
Bonus for the snow tires, at least initially they don't really squeal at all. They make a low grinding sound when they slide and that's it.

It's lube to seat the beads when it's 20 degrees out and even the snow tires are hard. Mounting tarz can be a PITA when it's warm and total when it's cold.
I'll clean it up eventually. Maybe. Or will do it.

I thought this wasn’t a requirement when the wheels and tires are ok. Also it looks like it’s 44 in Corning right meowtroyguitar wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 2:04 pm It's lube to seat the beads when it's 20 degrees out and even the snow tires are hard.

Eh. You can never use too much lube - and they were mounted yesterday morning.
Now that I think about it, they probably use extra on nice/new wheels more for getting the tires over the rim without scratching it than for seating the beads.
