i figured alot of people would have them. bf goodrich marketed them straight to the younger crowd as an aggressive tire for a cheap price. i know that it performs. but to me i think it is a sucky tire. more for drifting maybe. and srt4s

im kinda leaning towards the dunlops

well after a night of research.
the dunlops are better for tracking and some daily driving
the potenzas are better for dding and occasional auto-x
ill risk the faster tread wear and get the dunlops

so far i like them and ive only driven them back to the house from the shop lol
ill have to get some update pics on the box.

i really screwed myself over because i was halfway through and thought to myself....wait....how am i going to access the filter!
it was too late but the batteryside and the fender side of the box are open. i wanted them to be closed but i had to have someway to get to the filter.
in the near future i want to build another and have a hinge on top where i can open the box.
