So today is my birthday. I celebrated sunday with some buds and some pizza and beer and wings and so on.
That was great. I never want anything for my birthday than to have all my friends hang out at my place and have a good time
This morning I woke up at 11 and looked outside. They were all washing and waxing and detailing my car, inside and out.
I went to have a shower and came back outside.
They handed me my birthday card and i read it. I looked in the car, it was cleaned, polished and full of gas. thanked everyone and they were all looking at me waiting for something. I was like... "OK...so..."
my friend Nigel goes "so, rims are nice and shiny eh?"
I look at the rims and notice they are no longer wearing bald radial TA''s, but brand spankin new Dunlop SP sport A2 tires! The ones I was going to go and buy next month
I almost crapped myself! Thats like almost a 500 dollar set of tires!! (they stole the car and took it to get new tires while I slept)
I have the best friends in the world!!
REVIEW:
on first impressions, I didnt realize how much the tires could improve the ride of the car. No more rattling and road noise, and no more twitch in the steering wheel over 100 kmh
I proceeded to my favorite off ramp and tore down it nearly 100 miles an hour with no tire squeal and no fuss. I tried them out in a parking lot too.
The old bald radial TA's were sufficient to provide lots of grip too, I think the cars attitude and suspension make the world of difference as well, but I couldnt make even those tires loose it, so imagine the grip i have with nice new ones!
The steering is way more precise, response is unbelieveable and they conjure up a huge amount of grip! In fact all day, I couldnt get so much of a squeal out of them and I was going plenty faster than I would have liked to.
All in all, a very impressive tire, they hook up well off the line, seem very very grippy and offer precise response and no road noise
I cant wait to try them in the rain.
