Well I finally got around to putting the Kumho ecsta stx's on the back. This is day 8 with them on. They'd been in my trunk for weeks while I got a few more burnouts outta the BFG's. They are 255/55/18's, and they are GREAT. Already got 2 kills under them. More on that later.

I really like them, I'll never put BFG's back on here, and I can't wait for the familiar inner wear on the fronts so I can..."crap"can those as well.
First kill with them on: I'd seen this niiiice 2 door BMW in morning traffic on the way to work a few different times. I was always a couple cars back, and he always seemed to be in the front row at the redlights. And he would always rip away from the light. Got close enough one time to read his plate. MR SHNEL. Cool play on words if you know your German. Also, a blue paint job just a bit darker and a little more metal flaky than mine. Real nice. Looks like it has factory spoilers/body panels on it. Anywayz. Friday morning, hardly any traffic, I come beboppin' down the road, light up ahead just turned red and who's sitting there? MR SHNEL. I went to the left lane, stopped for about 2 seconds and the light went green, we both tore away from the light, his hood was right even with my door....til he shifted the third time, and when he dropped back for that split second it was over, I pulled a car on him and let off. When he got almost even with me I goosed it and let the loud WHOOMP! let him know I was done and he was, well, out done. He revved his twice and then we both coasted down the road at about 80. (but it's okay, we were in an 80 mph zone) I can only imagine how excited he was when he got to work and told his friends he got punked by a big blue 4 door something.
Then, this morning, a co-worker with a nice convertible Mazda RX-7 (that I've driven, nice car, quick) rolls up beside me at a redlight. I gave him the two fingered "let's go" signal, he revved up, light turned green, destroyed him. Next light, crushed him. Third light, he just fell in behind me and followed me the rest of the way. And at the next to last light before we had to turn, a crotch-rocket motocycle got beside me and blipped the throttle while looking over at me. Never one to shy away from a race, light turns green, we both peel away from the light leaving poor Dave sitting there, and about 1 maybe 2 seconds into the race, I got that thing handed to me, what's it called? Oh yeah, my ass! No chance against the 2 wheeler, but it was fun! At work Dave says "Man, your car looks super clean today, do you go thru lot's of back tires?"
"Thank you, and yes.":D
