Got my whip back this afternoon

[jamesmost]

new Pzeros, replaced the smashed input flange, and put on the 20mm rear sway.car feels great will get on the hwy tomorrow morning. Feels much more timid w/ the smaller 20mm bar, ride is softer as well

[elwesso]

Hows the handling difference?

[jamesmost]

front seemed to dip a little more on hard turns rubber is tall compared to bald tires, little swish, still has mold grease as well.40 miles to work in the am. Wes u contact the sway bar companies ??

How are those PZeros? I always say it's good to go P.. Sorry. Couldn't help myself. Seriously, how do they sound? I'm partial to those tires. Love 'em actually.

James, if you call it a "whip" again, we're gonna have to ban you.

Glad you got your car back!

I'm getting my second set as well, just as soon as I get my O.Z rims painted. Pirelli has been a very good tire for me and I'm going to be keeping a log this time of tread wear and noise(or lack there of). Funny, I've always bought my Pirelli's when they've been on sale, so that's how I initially caught the bug. I've wanted to try the M. Pilots, but could never spring for the cost of 4 tires.

Anyway, enjoy your ride and keep us posted with the 4:08 performance from time to time.

I just pulled our P-Zeros off the Q... Be careful in the 2nd half of tire life, they are VERY prone to flats for some reason. We've had 3, and never a flat before (in 6 years).

Don't ask about the chains, handcuffs, and the little leather thongy.

the compound 2nd half of tire life is much harder. Also had more sidewall bubbles then any other tire. Fortunately for me tires are a short term thing every 8 monthes or so. They are the NERO and so were my old ones. MY avons were the m550 all season, did not like them at all. May go back to Dunlops next time. Had Michelines on my Benz CLK 420, but they are way too expensive.
