they are car tires and they actually work well. there is such a thing as wet traction though, and it rains a lot in jersey. when I worked at pep boys I put a set on a 91 mustang GT 5 speed and liked the way they grabbed. they were cheap to so i'm not complaining. the thing I don't understand is why my car is sitting so god damn when they are only 1" taller than stock...that only raises the axle a 1/2 inch

I really hate 4th gen rears on 3rd gens with 3rd gen tire backspacing.
And why does your Third brake light look crooked? or is it just a ilusion?

M&S <> truck tire, M&S=all season. Loudmouth N00bs.

This is a marking which means that the tire meets M&S/M+S requirements without the drawbacks of noise and rolling resistance associated with the traditional deep-lug winter tires. The M&S/M+S designation means that the tire is suitable for normal all-weather driving applications. Tires that meet the requirements of the M& S designation have better winter traction compared to those without the M&S symbol.

Ought to fix all the cracks in the tail-lights first. If they were fresh it might look ok. Its too "flat" looking for me.

But they seem like they are a little better than the Radial T/A (which is what I thought they were at first, and is a decent tire) so they ought to be OK.
