if i got time before work ill try to stop by larrys, their phone numbers not workin.. thanks for your help man, if larrys has em for a reasonable price ill pick em up. i hate waiting on shipping. and some guys say they are bulkier than american or japanese tires in the same size so hopefully if they fill like a xxx/35/19 thats a bonus.
got any pics of your setup?

hey have you noticed any softness in the sidewall. i've been asking around about them and some guys say its stiff and others have said they ride like a tire with a softer widewall, what would you say?

Stiffest freaking tires I've ever had. Sidewall is really tough on these and like I said, I haven't had gripes about it. No squeal, no softness going into turns at all. I went from 17" 8.5 to 19" 9.5 so I expected road noise but it wasn't as bad as I expected. It sounds just a bit louder than stock on the freeway.
I still can't get wheelspin on these tires. Just grip grip grip grip.

awesome. unless they sound like some damn muddin' tires i never worry about road noise.
i should be making a decision today, also got a guy from an evo forum tryin to get me a discount at firestone for some RE-11s at 10% over dealer cost. and gonna call larry's in a minute to see if they got any of the sessantas.

Just buy the last tire from TR. It shouldn't be more than 40 bucks to ship. Employee deals through Firestone is cheaper than TR though. Lucky for you that they are mostly in stock.
