Ok, so if you haven't already seen the pictures of my old tires, here they are -



Stupid Pirelli's...
So here's the car with new tires -
*cue dramatic music*




They're Federal SS-595 235/40/R17's. The car is a full 1/2in shorter, which should make driving in Houston even more interesting than it already is.
I went out and played around a bit after getting them put on, and I gotta say the that these tires are super responsive in Advanced mode.

I'll post more when I get some more miles on them.
Cheers
