    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Continental tires are like BFG, just coasting on their name. My buddy's M3 had the high performance 295 Contis and my God were they awful... Loud, hard, never warmed up.

    :jerkoff:

    speaking of alignments, I'm actually a bit PO'd with the most recent. Here I was raving about this local shop that many of the bay area tw crew use. @BartMaster1234 seemed to have a good experience there so I decided to give them a try. The shop I had been using kept the caster a bit off to 'account for road crown'. Previously they had me at 3.0 | 3.4 caster and 0.0 | 0.0 camber, 0.0 | 0.0 toe.

    This new shop set me at 3.9 | 3.9 caster, - 0.3 | -0.3 camber, 0.0 | 0.0 toe

    My PSI hasn't changed and I'm still running with 35psi front and back.

    What do I notice the other day? f-ing slight feathering on the outside shoulders of the front tires. Didn't have that before. So, what to do - considering going back and taking me back down to 3.5 | 3.5 caster and setting my camber back to 0.0 | 0.0. I'm not sure if that very slight difference can cause this tire wear I'm seeing but it's not something I want with these Coopers. May just go back to the other shop and have them throw it on the rack and check it out.

    :frusty:
