Never. We really don't have any public streets around here, just great curvy roads with minimal, if any, traffic. And I couldn't break the 200 mph barrier. Partially because my car supposedly tops out at 199, but mainly because there are no straight sections of road long enough to try. Either...

How do they compare to tires I've heard of when coming into a curve a bit too hot? And are their speed ratings acceptable for a 200 mph car?

Why? Because the wheels don't go bad. Give the tires to someone who doesn't know about date codes.

If I could fit a wheel that large on the lathe it would be easy to accomplish.

That looks really nice, 2nd. I should probably paint my black ones gray, then sand off the paint from the spokes.

Oh, there are certainly name brand tires that are anything but round or consistent. Especially so in OE applications. On the other hand, needing trailer tires a while back I swallowed hard and bought eight Venom tires, two different sizes. Cheap imports, how good could they possibly be? Well, I...

To me, having spare wheels is like having insurance. By having them I probably won't need them. It would suck to try finding one in a hurry if one got damaged. Then again, in my case I'd be more likely to need a spare car, maybe a spare me.

Slip the guy a 20, or whatever it takes, to turn the Smart Weight off.

Very true, but... If the rim isn't perfect, which is rarely the case with late model OE wheels, the Hunter balancer usually allows counteracting the respective wheel and tire and discrepancies and produce a setup that runs great. It's when the wheel is perfect and the tire isn't that I run...

Don't ask, don't tell.

Okay, so incorrect mounting will make a perfectly balanced wheel and tire not run true. There's a number of reasons why that may be the reason for vibrations. And while the wheel style in my profile picture was still alive and well (up to '23 as far as I know), when I got my '18 they weren't...

Keep in mind that I wasn't around to deal with moonies. Instead I had to mingle with blue eyed blondes that rarely knew how to say no, despite not using any drugs.

Wow. That has to be a record for premature ejac... Ah, never mind.

Were they correctly balanced on a machine with road force capabilities, and that was recently calibrated, plus operated by a competent person? If "yes" to those question, was the Smart Weight function turned off? If even a single one was a "no", all bets are off and I would expect vibrations.

Report the issues and BULL might fix it...at some point. Or not.

Uh, oh. I wouldn't use the washer until you have verified that they didn't add ATF or brake fluid to it.

I'm about to fill the rear reservoir on my tractor for at least the second time. Being out in the open it's easy enough to see what the level is, and it seems to lose its contents about every five years. Nope, have never used the washer. And I think it was the '18 Challenger that told me the...

Far from all Cooper tires are made in the USA. And I have no idea why they would have anything to do with Nexen tires.

The worst I can remember were the Nexens that came on my '17 Ram. They were quiet and rode well, but the best part was that they started coming apart with about 20,000 miles on them, which was a perfect excuse to switch to Toyos. And it wasn't just my tires, many others had the same experience...

Can't be much worse than the Firehawk Indy 500s are in snow. Actually, I know they're not.
