I took my new tires to get mounted so I threw an old pair of bias plys on the back of the car for now. When I say old I mean these things must be 20 tears old. Theyre 215/70/14s and hard as a rock.

I decided to take the car for a spin down the street to see how bad they are in the traction department. Just tapping the gas and they would smoke. :D I really wanted to lay in to it but I decided it wasnt a good idea with only 3 lug nuts holding them on :? Im gonna have to find some more lug nuts and give them a better test. I figure I should beable to get them to hook sometime around 3rd gear. :D
 
I wish I had something to go out and smoke some tires with :( Damn Mercedes has a hard time spinning the tires when the roads are wet. I got a couple of engine sitting on stands in the garage that could smoke the hell out of good rubber, but they're still on the stands. Maybe I should stick the 340 in the E320 :shock: Its sort of a Mopar :D
 

When I had my car tore down ready for the body shop I put my old front tires on the rear. They were about 5 inch's wide :lol: anyway :lol: :lol: :lol: I had no trouble spinning them dudes. :thumrigh:
