I actually need to re-route that hose, but I’m pretty sure the whole hose is rubber even though it looks like the T is plastic. It’s a factory hose though. > [@drewster99](#): > > Off topic but… how do you like the Mini? I haven’t driven one of the new ones yet. It’s actually pretty fun to drive. Its pretty quick for what it is and it handles well. I just got it a month ago so I haven’t been able to have too much fun with it on dry roads. ---

If Nitto has tires in your size, save your money over the PSS. I have PSS currently on my Stingray and I am not a fan. They don’t deal with being too hot or too cold very well and they don’t wear great if you actually drive them aggressively. Mine have 4,300 miles and they’re damn near smoked. Plan to replace with Nitto for street/HPDE tires soon and get a smaller set of wheels for auto-x with RE71R. Just my two cents. > [@goff](#): > > I went with 305 for a couple of reasons, I wasn’t aware the 345 would fit, they were almost $300 more, and they aren’t going to last very long anyways.
