Yea, he forgot they moved it. :lol:

Jim was asked if he was getting any on the side.
He replied, “Hell, it's been so long since I had any I didn't know they moved it.”

:D

Chopped liver you were never on my bad side, just remember I KNOW how you drive, and I want you to be safe and enjoy your car even more. I really really hated those RSA's, heck I don't like the Good Years that came on the GXP and they are 10 times better tires.

They look like good tires, Tire Rack likes them. I don't know much about them.

OMG be real careful about Merchants.  Watch 'em like a hawk and make sure they know how to lift a Solstice.  :Sweating:

I bought a set of Eagle GTs for my beater GTP Grand Prix I had in Germany.  I thought they were decent tires on that car, at least.  Drove on 'em for about 5K miles before I sold it and moved, to include a trip to the Alps and through the snow there.  They were great all-WX tires.

Good to see the new rubber, let us know how you like them.  For myself I'll be getting the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Specs when new rubber is needed.  Too bad I lost my Dunlop connection, these puppies are pricey at $190 a pop.
