Car Forum / Pontiac / Pontiac Firebird / June 2004When to buy new tires?
Watch this file, you'll see why. Saw this on Yahoo's camaro group. Big file. 31 MB http://69.56.161.148/dans_new_video.wmv (Tried posting this yesterday...looks like it didn't make it. I need a real news reader and server) Jimmy > Watch this file, you'll see why.

Haven't seen you around in a LOOOONG time. Anyway...welcome back. Still got a video of your camaro you posted years ago. '01? Quick clip of a 13 sec run.... Anyway didn't try posting a binary. Used Google. Use google a lot, cause my current ISP's news server sucks. But google takes a million years to post as well, or just doesn't post at all. Jimmy > > Watch this file, you'll see why.

Ok, just making sure. :-) SignatureMr. Floppy Mr. Floppy. He did not post a binary. He posted a URL which is POINTING to a binary hosted elsewhere. BIG difference. Might want to think about the clue thing a bit yourself. >> Watch this file, you'll see why.

I already said that I was just making sure he wasn't trying to post it here. But if you had just READ my other reply, you would already know that. So again I say, GFY.

It's just too easy. (I figured someone would respond to his response.) Oh no....he said I eat a.shole. Whatever shall I do. Frankly I don't understand his response. First he says I eat a.shole, and then he wants to f.ck me. Maybe he's upset I won't eat his a.shole.

Huntington, Campbell County, Welch County, Crumpler. Some of my kin own a mountain in Welch co. WV is also where the family grave yard is. No matter where in the country we expire, WV is where we rest. I get a bit tired of people making jokes about the south, and certain states. Like RK making cracks about the south. Only place in the south I ever been that the people weren't nice was West Memphis. The only state I dislike is Kentucky. Not the whole state either. Just most of the people from around the Hazard area. Yet I know some damn fine people from there too.

Every state has it's less then nice area's, trust me, Ohio is full of them. It's a bit different when your a southerner cracking on the south. But when someone who has never lived there does.

I pointed out that I should have realized he knew the difference between trying to post a binary and posting a URL because he has a handle like "Mr. Floppy." I was meaning that a name like that construed old school computer nerd training. As in FLOPPY DISK DRIVE or FLOPPY DISK. So my meaning anyway, was that I shouldn't have doubted him. Somehow, my apology must have been misinterpreted as an insult. It was never intended as such. Then I get told to go f.ck myself. Nothing pisses a guy off more than to offer apology only to be told that. PS: People at work once used to call me "Mr. DOS", so to me "Mr. Floppy" seemed a complimentary nickname suggesting computer competence. >> Geeze. I aplogized to you and this is how you respond?

Ok, ok, don't get your panties in a wad. Interpreting typed text isn't as easy as everyone thinks. You don't get the benefit of seeing the person's expression. Not too many people say things like "with a name like Mr. Floppy..." and have anything positive to say. I interpreted it as sarcasm. It just comes with the territory I guess. SignatureMr. Floppy I tried to back you up: By saying you'd take out your floppy and club that trolling bastard to death. then one of your BOYS, jumps on me. I guess a pack mentality when all the children get together, but I'll repeat it, I think you are ok and a gentleman. Sincerely, Refinish King > > I apologized like I said.

Actually, that's the law. If you look at your tread, you'll see a perpendicular line crossing the tread pattern. That would be your 2/32" marker.

Maybe politicans can't figure it out? :-) SignatureMr. Floppy there would be a congressional debate needed to see: Whether that equates, or if it should be left at 2/32nds. Refinish King > > > You should really buy new tires by no later than when you have only > > > 2/32" tread depth left right? [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Hey, fellas, isn't 2/32" equal to 1/16"? Maybe politicans can't figure it > out? :-) It is. But by specifying it in 32nds, it the precision of measurement is thereby refined. For example, if you have a ruler graduated in 32nds, it is easier to see something that is say 3/32 than if you have a ruler with only 16th gradients and call it 1 and a half 16ths. It probably shouldn't matter though. >> > You should really buy new tires by no later than when you have only >> > 2/32" tread depth left right?

Have Goodyear on there now but was thinking of going with something else when the time comes to change.

It's good into the 130s? (Can't remember now.) But I do remember that they corner a hell of a lot better than the crap Eagle GSC-Z that came with my car. As far as compounds go, I've never been impressed with Goodyear. I've used and like Michelin, and BFGoodrich. I've also used Khumo and others, but they are too gummy and you can say good-bye to the tread after say....20-25K miles. (I actually burned through some Pilots in 12K mi. once, but I was purposely ripping them up every chance I got, not the best use of my time/money.)

From what I've read the Goodyear Eagle GSC tires that came on the cars aren't that great compared to some others out there. I'm still on those tires so don't have much to compare them with. Funny thing is they're pretty spendy too at over $170 per tire. The Michellins are around a similar price but I've heard good things about them. There are also some Asian brands that I have read some good thing about. Have you had experience or have friends that have owned Sumitomo or Yokahama? I know you mentioned the Kumhos are gummy. What about Bridgestone or Firestone. How about Dunlop or Pirelli? I've been to tirerack and know about the reviews there etc. Just wondered if you (or anyone here) have any insight on some of the other brands. >>I'm a big fan of the Pilot XGT-H4 myself.

The yokahama is also very gummy. I'd put Dunlop and Pirelli on a par with BF Goodrich. (Though from my experience the Pirelli is not as durable as the Dunlop.) I've had Dunlop and Pirelli on my bike though, so, that's my frame of reference in regards to their compounds. I don't imagine it would change all that much from vehicle tires. (Granted, the technology is different, but the compounds should be the same.)
