first mod of the year, new shoes!
well i am keeping the cavy, not to sure what exactly im gonna do with it as far as continue modding it or not. I had my rims all together earlier this year, i had BSA 239 17X7 inch rims with ToyoProxies 4. But i didnt like them. The look wasnt me and neither was the ride quality. And the traction wasnt that great either. So i sold the rims, and they went buh bye. So im back to my stock rims, i realised i like the stock look alot more, i dont have an aftermarket look nor do i ever plan on having one. So i me some new shoes for my old rims. BFgoodrich G Force Sports. Theyve got a really good rating on tirerack.com 4th out of 46 tires. ZR rated Summer only tires. And 4 new tires shipped to my house was only 337 bucks.

Re: first mod of the year, new shoes!
Tires are considered a mod?
Always thought of them as something you just needed to have, whether they're cheapy every day tires, or uber gummy performance tires.

Re: first mod of the year, new shoes!
I love the Tire Rack too. They're only 10 minutes away from where I live. And they have a small track which they open up for autocross.

Re: first mod of the year, new shoes!
i consider it a mod, who doesnt. If i went to slicks it would be considered a mod? By far its one the biggest bang for your buck mods you can get. A good set of tires compared to a crappy set of tires can mean the difference of over a second in the quarter mile.
And whats wrong with calling them shoes? They are shoes for my car.
