Funny. Everytime i go down to White Marsh or to the Airport..i get cut off..people try to come into the lane when i'm already there...They fly across all 4 lanes right in front of you...or even stop right in the middle of 695 so they can get over. Apparently, 695 is the Autobahn of the east coast.

Those are streetable. I ran them everyday for spring, summer and fall back in 1998.

You have to come to realize if you become an avid autocross you are not cool unless you have 5 sets of rims and tires.

Let me count mine:
4 16x7" Rota C8s w/205/45x16" Toyo Proxes 4 (on my 00 Civic Si)
4 15x7" Kosei K1s w/205/50x15" Azenis (in storage)
4 15x7" Enkei RPF1s w/205/50x15" Kumho MXs (in storage)
4 14x5.5" CRX Si wheels with 185/60x14" Goodyear tires (in storage)
4 15x6" OEM Si wheels with 195/55x15" Nokian Hakkapeliitta 2s (on my 1991 Civic Si)
4 14x5.5" steelies with 185/60x14" no name brand tires (on my 1989 Civic Si)
4 215/45x16" Falken Azenis (in storage)
4 205/50x15" Falken Azenis RT-615 on the way

They have AQUATUSKS so of course they are fine in the rain. Don't know about 50 degrees, but if I remember right they were. That was 7 years ago I was still a riceboy back then and didn't know anything about tires.

Sweet.
One more annoying question. How many miles did you get out of them on the street?

As I said it was too long ago, plus I sold them before they actually wore out. But realize they treadwear is around 80. YOu'll get some crazy grip from the tires though

Treadwear 80 would be about 8000 miles or so (give or take).
