Thumbs up New Tires and Copper Red Shinka pics

hey folks. I was at my local dealer to have new tires mounted/balanced (how about those OEM bridgestones...only good thing about them is that after fewer than 20k miles i have an excuse to replace them, i.e. they won't pass inspection at this point ) and there was a brand new copper red shinka there, so here are a bunch of pictures of it. Nice color, I must say. I don't think I'd buy it, but it's nice to look at, and the shinka interior is very classy. Enjoy.

new shoes (BFGoodrigh g-Force T/A KDW-2)


And the Shinka: (PM me for full-res copies if you'd like)

Yup, that's the long and short of it.

Thumbs up

Those are the exact tires I was going to get! How is the handling? Are they much better than stock? Noticeable difference?

Your dealership looks like it could beat up my dealership.

Ya, that's what all the new ones look like. They are so much better than the old nasty looking ones.

Actually yes, even after just a few days I've noticed that the traction control is coming on less frequently, at times when it would have with the old tires. It's nice to have some grip, especially at the back end. Obvious improvement over the OEM rubber, definitely.

Yeah the place is brand new actually, construction isn't even completely finished yet. It's a lot nicer than the place they just moved from, which was also a Pontiac dealer. Barf.
