[QUOTE="ReplicaR, post: 405913, member: 9209"] Strange that they did not have the test for first generation tire. What you also have to keep in mind is how old the tire is. If the tire was stored somewhere with a lot of sun, chances are it's gonna be rock hard, and will not have much traction. For 50 dollars I would probably not complain, but then again I would not be tracking the car on those tires. BTW, having mismatched tires is the worst thing you can do for your handling. Most of your handling is tires, so when the corner grip is inconsistant, it's pretty easy to get into sticky situation. Or should I say, non sticky, because I found out about that the hard way. A while ago (about a year back), I changed just one tire, thinking that I would be ok. I was fucking around one day in the canyons, and did not count on one corner having less grip than the other. I slid off the road, and almost flipped the car over. Now I pay great attention to tires. [/QUOTE]
