haha I'm just kidding, but I agree that the BF goodrich traction t/a are good tires. They are pretty beefy. My car is basically meant for dry flat areas with no gravel only. Stupid Direzzas..

i like the traction t/a's for what i use them for. i really like the michelins i have on my tc wheels. the ride is sooooooooooooo much nicer. highly recommend michelins to anyone that can afford them. right now i have the pilot sport ps2s on the front when i go to the canyons and pilot primacys on the front for daily driving. both are fairly grippy tires, but the ps2's are by far more grippy. reason i have two different models of michelins on the car is because i snagged them from work for free. they were tires that were gonna get recycled because customers got new tires. usually what happens is that sometimes customers will buy all 4 new tires at once and the rear tires are the only ones that are really worn out. the pilot primacy's have like 7/32 left on them as well as the ps2's, but the ps2's have a little more wear on the outside edges. not bad, but looks like the car they were on had alignment issues. can't complain about free.

Free is always good smile.gif. I try to snag tires from work too, but it's hard to find the right tire size that will fit on my rim. But luckily the new 2010 Prius come with 17x7.5" rims wink.gif. Could use a good set of commuting tires. The new special edition tC comes with the toyo proxes 4 from the factory now. I wouldn't mind grabbing a set of them if they were free.
