I have the A's, absolutely love them. I've got maybe 8k miles on them and they're wearing evenly and slowly compared to Hankook's and Kumho's that I usually run. Plenty of grip, great in the rain, and very comfortable. They're known to go 40k miles easily as well. I'll more than likely continue buying these tires as long as they're made.

As for the S's, Kurt and Derrick have them, and though they are excellent tires for performance, don't expect to see more than 15k miles out of them, maybe even 10k given your driving habits.

I'm actually running the A's on the car right now, these would be for the pegs and we have 2 new sets at work. 1's 205/50 other is 235/55.

The A's in the front are almost gone after a year of driving, the rears still look brand new though :lol:

Matty is telling ill rub like baby jesus with the 205/50/17 (17" pegs) but im not convinced with just ipd springs.

I have 205/50/17 for snows on 17x8 wheels and they don't even come close to rubbing. That being said, why would you want a 205/50 for an all-season or summer tire? Why not run a 215/45 or 225/45?

The 205/50/17 are free and new.

Sooo thats the main reason, and I dont want the 235's. Same type of tire, ones just wider then the other.

These wheels are going to be on the car for a week (next week) then maybe a week in november.

If I run them longer then its because I was too lazy to swap them.

*New developement, looks like someone put a forklift into one of the 235's at one point. So im going with 205.

Vs app. Does anyone use it anymore?

Is mobile just the way to go now?

Ok. I just saw the download link on the bottom of the page and it's not available in the App Store anymore. Guess that answers my question.

I think I just tested the waters on the beginnings of hypothermia last night. Rode my motorcycle to NH and back to look at an S90. It was at least 10 degrees colder than I was expecting, and that made all the difference. When I got home, under tongue temp was 96.1 and I'd already been home for 15 minutes. I'm sure I was 95.x or lower. The scary part is that I'd stopped about 30 minutes before I got home to warm up and was quite a bit colder, ghost white, and slowed thinking and having a slight trouble working my mouth.
