Yeah, they're still doing that, just a little less cartoonish.


Most f'n expensive tire they had for my car, but got to be honest I swear it holds the road better when it's wet.

That's what I have on my car....The Assurance Triple Treads, and they have been great. I got over 40k on them, but now they need to be replaced....and before winter!! Starting to get some dry rot. And did some scary hydroplaning the other day!!

Still warm here, but the rain and cold will be here tomorrow. It's already raining.

Not sure what trouble I am going to get into today!!

I've only had them about 15k, but love them so far. My wife's car has them too. Rain grip is kinda important in our area, ice and snow not so much, but wet, oily roads are common here.

Damn just had my car jacked up and crawled under it to try one last time to get the oil drain plug out. Nope!! If I had a lift I'd have a chance. It's pretty much rounded out.

I'll have them try when I have tires put on I guess....Can always pump it out from the top!

When my back started giving me issue and things like breaker bars were no longer really a safe option for me to use I decided to go the way of every auto shop I've ever been in and got impact drills for everything. I have a small one for things like oil plugs and small to medium bolts and I have a larger, wall plug one that I use for stuff like lug nuts and bigger. Nothing quite as satisfying as that sound of <tddtddtddtddtddtdd> and the bolt comes out. Especially when you remember a few years ago wrestling with the same bolt for three hours, rounded out the edges, drilled it out, and had to go buy a replacement bolt for the one you completely shredded to unusable.
