Default New look coming...

I replaced my old tires. And it makes my car look very different and also rides a lot nicer. Went from some 205/40/17s to 215/40/17s. Soon I am going to put my lip kit on after I have the sides painted professionally. I also have to get my brakes done because they are in bad shape. I have a set of drilled/slotted rotors ready to go on as well. Well here is a picture I snapped yesterday night. My car and wheels are filthy. But I worked 70 hours last week, so I didn't have much time...

Looks good, are those Parada spec-2 tires? If so have you noticed the rear feeling a little loose?

Yes, they are Yokohama Parada spec 2's. And no, my rear end does not feel loose. The tires are quiet, and my ride is much better now that I went to 215s from 205. I think it gives the car a much more aggressive look now. My tires look much more beefy then they used to. They have good traction so far, but I've only had then on the car about 3 days.

Yeah, I did no modifications to make them fit.

Json....what do you mean by loose in the rear? Like your back end fishtails around corners or something?

Ya she's kinda drift happy now with the Parada's, no changes except for the tires. The car now seems to have more grip in the front and less in the rear than with the Exclaim's. Not regular driving but extreme hard cornering.
