    Easily the best street tire out there. Although the torque of the SV used to chew threw them in 8-10k miles.

    8-10k miles??? You sure about that? I don't weigh enough to go through tires quickly and I'm lucky to get 4-5k miles

    Went with removable locking wheel chocks this time around. It would have been dandy if they had came with mounting hardware, probably would have taken a little less time, and fewer trips to Lowe's

    Nice job on the trailer, so far. Are you considering mounting a trailer tongue tool box on it? I had one in the past, and it worked well for securing the tie downs.

    You may be right. It's been a while since I had the bike.

    I used to only keep a car for maybe 2 years. At one time I owned 3 cars at the same time. It's weird to think I've had the Tacoma for over 8 years now, and as my only vehicle.

    The Pirelli's I had performed pretty good, but I've had much better tires. Once, one of them was flat. 0 PSI in the tire, and you'd never know it by looking at it or even driving on it. I only knew because TPMS told me. My next set of tires on that car were Toyo Proxes. Much better tires. Gave a better ride than the stock Michelin's.

    Played with a truck today. Dakar rear pack, OME 885 coilovers in the front with SPC UCA's. It was a good time!

    I had Michelin Pilot Super Sports on my STI for the last year I owned it and I absolutely loved them. I had the OEM Dunlops on the newer 18" STI wheels and they were the worst tire I've ever encountered. I had so much tire noise it sounded like I had four bad wheel bearings.

    I ran ContiExtremeContacts (the original, not the DWS) when I first bought the car, and those tires were the best all-seasons I ever used. Friends and my wife used the DWS but they were never quite the same.

    I had the conti sportcontacts on my track car, they were pretty Damn good tires, especially in the rain. Switched to Dunlop star specs (direzza now iirc) and those things were about as close as you child get to racing slicks. They just glued the car the road, absolutely awesome tire. Not great in the rain though, and didn't last long but the way I was using the car I wasn't expecting them to.

    Depending on the breed of dog you want to wait as long as possible to allow them to fully develop. My malamute was not neutered until he was over a year and a half to allow him to grow to his potential.

    On second thought, what size are those sneaks?
