They sure look fast. Tires are the most cost effective way to go fast.(so I'm told)

Love new tires ...and wow! that is a huge boot there!

Do we have another Honda contender :)

I myself just picked up the new Kumho XS's. My first race on them was last weekend, and they were barely scrubbed in, so it was a little slippery (as I 4-wheel slid past a gate). I really should spent time just running it around a clover-leaf or something to get them nice an scrubbed :P

Won't that extra weight (and so far back) actually slow down the Fit more?! :P laugh!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they work better outside of the car.

I think the most cost effective way starts here, passes through here, and ends something like this. That is assuming your time is worth nothing.

I think I'm gonna have to take the wheels off the car and go back to my 5.5" wide all-seasons on steelies.

These new tires are tempting me to drive hard on the street.

Well, I think I did pretty well. We'll see when the times come out.

42.xx though. Not bad for an N/A FWD.
