I don't see any with 5x108...are you changing the bolt pattern? Or am I blind?

The latter is very likely...

These are mine:


Axis XMX MGS with Michelin Alpina PA3's for the snow..or lack of here in NNJ. Great tires by the way, nice grip, ride, like high performance all seasons. M+S rated also.

Looks like 18x8/5x108/45mm 23.3lbs from Tirerack.

you are correct..good eye..lol..
My company owns Car and Driver and Road and Track, so I get a decent sized discount from Tire Rack.

I still have my eye on your set of your Pro Race 1.2 in anthracite, 18x8/5x108/53mm offset, w/63.4 hub bore, but am going to have to hold off for bit(not to long I am hoping) due to getting my house fixed from Hurricane Sandy.
Price still the same on those?

The flood ins. adjuster is playing games with the claim at the moment and lowballing me; this seems like it is going to be a long ordeal

some pics if interested from the night of the storm..

EricWP,

Thank you for sharing those pics. I am stunned sitting here after looking at the devastation at your place. It really brought the level of the mess home to me, and my heart goes out to you and your neighbors.

I am so sorry you had to live through this and now have to deal with the clean up, the bids, the fixing, the insurance man, all of it.

Take care

I've had to deal with some minor flood damage before but nothing that even compares to that. Seeing so much water and water damage everywhere makes me feel sick to my stomach.

Good luck with the insurance and recovery.

Promotion pricing on the Pro Race 1.2 ends 2/02/13. PCA works with Team Dynamics to put together these pricing deals. At the moment, nothing on the books for a continuance/extension, or other new promotion. If this set is still around on 02/03/13 touch base and I will see what I can do.

Now, your house. Real sorry to see that. I know exactly what you are dealing with as my parents lost their home in Katrina. It took quite some time for things to get settled. Your adjuster sounds like the one my folks had.... New Orleans allowed homeowners back in 5 weeks after Katrina as there was another hurricane that followed 2-3 weeks later. I know the devastation is unreal. Your pics bring back memories for sure.

Here's to a better future and the pleasure of driving your .

I live in Northern Arizona, and we do get some snow but not like Michigan I would guess. Anyway I'm leaving tomorrow for Tennessee for a few weeks and didn't want to caught in snow with the summer tires, so I got these 17" Focus SE polished wheels off Craigslist (new car take offs) for $100 each and put some 215/50-17 Continental Pure Contact all-season tires on. Takes away the quick steering response, as you might imagine, but the ride and noise are much improved. Tires don't tramline like the Goodyear F1's and the torque steer is much improved too.



I'm running Torrie's tune but will probably go back to the stock tune for the trip so that I can run 87 octane. When I get back it will nearly be spring and we'll go back to race mode. In the meantime, I kind of like running stealth.
