Received my new front tires today.
Cool to know that I'm one of the first customers to get their hands on these new 555 G2 tires

I had those same exact rear tires (model and size) on my car last year for about 3000 miles and loved the traction.
Even found it to be better than the same tire in the 305/40/18 size I'm using now, although those tires are almost bald now.

That is a good price, I might have to give those a look once winter is over.

Know where your at. We just rolled her about 2 feet yesterday. Battery maintainer will go back on in 2 more weeks. On 24 hours off a month. Everytime I take the cover off to hook up the charger I just love looking at her. I MUST MOVE SOUTH! lol

Thanks Tony.

Also took her for a ride up and down the road, it felt so good to be behind the wheel again!

Lol yup.
Drove it through the first 2 winters I had it, what's another short drive on a dirty road gonna do?
Plus, she's filthy already. Didn't get a chance to clean it when the driveshaft broke so it's been sitting in the garage dirty as all hell

Ahhhh I forgot you already drove her in winter. Come to think of it, I remember when she was parked outside before your house. My bad. I forgot

That's awesome Gabe.
I looked at mine in the garage when I put the trash/recycle barrels away. Put a smile on my face though. Daydreaming of summer! lol

Drove mine today, thankfully we really don't have much snow left, all the roads are clear...as for the Stang, need to figure out why my clutch peddle is now a lot closer to the dash (IMO it seems closer then it should be) but its making me consider removing the pedal extension and using it as normal....(unless you guys have ideas as to what I should fix???

Gabe that looks great!

I drove mine to the store today and saw CEL come on. Not a good feeling Just added CAI and tune so I'm hoping it gets worked out.
