yea hopefully they won't be too bad in the snow......they're decent in the rain and the don't rub....yea car had conti handels on it when i bought it...i kinda like em
 
Are those the kumho ecsta's? I had those before 255-50-16 all the way around. They didnt seam to last very long, maybe 15-20K miles.
 
hopefully that big bulge of a bead wont pop off the rim
 
Very nice. What kind of exhaust is that? I like the tip design, hadnt thought of going single tip on mine but that tip looks pretty good.

its a piece together unit.....gt500kr x pipe, ebay 2 1/2 mandrel bent, magnapacks and pepboy tips

Tires look real good, but I think they would look alot better if you sensor lower the suspension.
car has coils

Look familiar...I have the same ones on mine. As far as the longevity of them, i've had these tires on 2 cars so far, this one and my old 5 speed mark VII and have daily driven them the last 2-3 years with lots of burnouts and quite a few trips to the track. Probably have 30,000 + miles on them with plenty of tread left...thats just been my experience with them.

oh and they are sticky in the summer, pretty crappy in the rain (thank god for traction control and light foot) and in the snow? Forget about it. Drive something else...
