Roger that, looks like my next tires won't be run flats. That plus they are incredibly noisy.

If your near London, Ontario check these guys out.

Unauthorized Performance

They were very cheap when I called them in the fall regarding new 275/40/20's for my 300c. Cheaper than a few online sites and that was installed.

They are also used to doing high value rims and come highly recommended.

With all that torque on your FI car Beancounter you need some big 305+ rubber on there or need to mini-tub that rear end.:
Might help you feeling like your spinning on ice where you give it the gas at hwy speed. Can you say Up in Smoke!

Its a curse. My 300c can smoke 1st and some of 2nd.... but when you have to start in 2nd to get any grip then switch into 3rd to put your foot down it adds up to a lot more risk in terms of getting a ticket

Seriously though.... you want to buy some F1's?
