Default well just got my 18" subzeros with s03s on...

beautiful, im very impressed. the tires handle amazingly. where on the re92s i used to be able to push them and feel their limit, i cant tell the end of the s03's traction.

little story.

i havent had the rims/tires on yet for even 24 hours. 1:30 at night, driving home from my friends house.

notice some dude in a pickup on my left (im in the right lane cuz im taking a right at the next light). we're about even, and he starts swerving into my lane. i beep the horn but he doesnt stop coming, so i swerve to avoid him and punch it out of there.

in doing so, i hit the curb violently with my right front wheel. i thought the damage was gonna be vicious, but in the end it was only like a 2 inch scratch. the tire tho has like a "skin" cut in it, the curb sliced away some of the tire maybe 1/6" thick for maybe 2-3 inches.


needless to say im rippin mad. havent even had them on for 24 hours and some drunk bastard ******* decides to make my night miserable.

Hey, thats a bitch, sorry. Hopefully, Darwinism will follow through and remove that guy out of the reproductive line (But hopefully not killing anybody else in the process). People like that anger me. Is the damage to the tire ok to drive on?

Sounds like you got a nice contact patch going on (Did you get 225's?). Enjoy, and maybe post some pics of the ride with new dubs
