A new grip on reality

I put 4 new tires on the Cooper S this morning.



I love the grip of new tread. It's like getting a whole new car, mostly because you get there via balding tires that no longer grip at all. I had lost the ability to make right turns at ridiculous speeds or to punch the throttle around a tightening curve and feel the tread bite. Now I have that all back.

Rather than a quick, efficient answer, I ramble on about tire selection for an entire subsequent post. Hint: I got Conti Run-Flats.
