Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

10.) Andy - Civic - ?Expert? - Paid
Expert?!?! I'm more like a novice (less than a year of AutoX). I suck big time plus I'll be driving a lowly civic. All you subarus got me beat by 40+ HP! Plus I'm running skinny little tires.

With as long as you babbled about autox last night, you're an expert. :)

Ok, Brian has confirmed the parking lot is available for 03JUN, so thats our date. Three spots left, and a couple folks that need to get me money. Once we get all the cash in I'll get Brian paid, he'll reserve the lot, and we're set! Any friends, family, coworkers, etc that may want to join in, let them know!

If we fill up this one, we may organize a second class later in the summer (or early fall), so if this round doesn't work out there may be another chance.

If you come out for lunch Thursday I can get a check to you. Otherwise we can work something out - might be able to swing by Tyson's Corner before heading home one day this week.

No real reason to put 275's on a civic right now unless you have a lot of HP. The new 255/40/13 is due out on April 21st and should be a better choice for most civics.

I'm trying to wrap my mind around those numbers... :shock:

That's got to yield a sub-15lb wheel/tire combo!

I doubt it. The 225/45/13 weighs 16 lbs by itself and the new 255/40/13 uses this mold with a spacer inserted to make it wider without having to create a whole new mold for the tire $$$$.

These are the things I like about this new size.

255/40ZR-13
Estimated Tread Width - 9.5"
Estimated Section Width - 10.3"
Overall Diameter - 20.6"

Unfortunately due my brake swap I don't think I can fit anything smaller than a 14" wheel. I have Integra brakes front and rear.

BTW what brand is the new 255/40/13? Hoosier or Kumho?
