Reason for Sumis = you guessed it. I found all four for $270 picked up, cash. Couldn’t beat that for a brand new set of good tires in this size. Read reviews on Tire Rack, and they seemed ok. My initial impression is they don’t make much noise during cornering, have yet to comment on breakaway characteristics, hehee…

Detail - I dunno man, I respect the work y’all do, but it’s like rattle canning over some fake wheels… Gonna be nice on the surface but still $hitty underneath and frankly, who cares? Notice how my pics are all like from mad FAR away? That’s 'cause if you saw the body / dust / wheels you’d probably barf! All good to me though.

I’ve heard a lot of comments on doing body work, and it’s just really low on my priority list, there are so many other things the car “could use” to be a reliable daily.

I’ll probably do the cooling system / diff / x brace all before any body stuff. My stereo’s in too and I’ll write up something on that but it’s not 100% finished, maybe like 95%.
