Very true now that I think about it.... I may boost up to at least 20s if not 22s so low profiles look good.

General Exclaim UHP - great grip, even in the rain. and cheap!

love being in florida. summer tires all year ftw!

lower your car too. at least with some lowering springs. coilovers are harsh buddy. your car will feel like a race car. though you can ask for softer springs when you purchase a coilover kit. research 1st!

Hey Guys, Im actually in the process of putting new tires on my car. well tires and wheels. I bought them off a friend a few days ago a set of 4 for $200, anywho, the wheels are Konig and they are 19" and im buying low profile tires which are Kumho, i hear they are pretty sharp. atleast up here in Canada. Im slightly regretting it and will probably have to buy winters for next year but mother nature decidedto dump almost a foot of snow here in calgary last night and im getting every replaced at a friends shop on wednesday so hopefully i can handle as well as my all seasons right now. if anything ill just be taking it slow on the throttle and braking but ya. im pretty pumped. iwas going to drop maybe 2" in front and 3 in Back in the summer time but it all depends how low i can go with the 19" wheels and low pro tires. I'll post some pics.

I hope you are going to drop the front more than the rear. :)
