Default OnRamp Aww...

wasn't a race or anything just a fun onramp experience i though i'd share...

i was on my long way to work and jumping from freeway to freeway... the freeway i was merging onto is a B-E-A-UTIFUL 270-290 degree right turn(slightly up hill...about a gradual 20-30ft gain) that feels pretty good at about 55-65mph.... as i was approching the turn it looked like it would be pretty clear of traffic and i started to get into a good position and turn off the ESP... the only vhicles in front of me happend to be 2 big huge tour busses... but they were on the outside lane of this wide two lane ramp... so i took the inside lane (which i preffer) and got on her pretty hard so the nitto invo's would have to work for there traction and smashed past the two busses smooth as ever just riding my line with all fours breaking loose as i rode it out arpx. 200ft....... they never saw me again, lol

but i was just thinking how funny it was for about 120 people to see something like that... they were probably scared at first cause it may be a little decieving for a 4door sedan to haddle the road like it did....

if your not breaking anything.... your not going fast enough, lol.

i got my first pair of invo's about 6 months ago now... i think i got all four for 750... and i have my buddy at the shop very carefully mount them backwards onto my Lambo reps.

i love these tires soo much i've got a brand new extra set of em' sitting in my garage... waiting for the original set to wear completely...

the size is a 235/35/19.... not sure all the sizes these tires are made for but i have seen a set of invo's on a b5 s4 with the stock rims.... it was funny how i noticed the tires so fast when i saw that car... then quickly complemented the driver on his tire taste =)

get them! you will not be dissapointed...... i would also recomend the nitto nt555's
