New tires on, interesting side effect...
This is my third set of tires on my 98 SH. When I bought the car it had RE730's (which I loved except in rain/snow) and I replaced them with another set of RE730's. I managed to get 30K on them - I dont know if that is good or bad, but I wish they would have lasted longer. Anyway, this time around I did not feel like shelling out for the RE750's. Mainly for the cost and also because I will probably sell the Lude in about a year. I went with the Yokohama AVS ES100's. I have not driven on them enough to get a good feel for them, but there was one surprise. These tires are WAY quieter. I drove to work on the highway this AM and was stunned by how loud the engine was - now that the tires are not drowning it out. It was so loud I kept thinking I should shift - too bad I was already in 5th! We should have gotten a 6 speed on the lude....
