I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Word. crush it on its belly.

honestly...there hasn't been a crappy tire mentioned in the thread. your car doesn't see the track. Get something with decent wear, isn't going to break your wallet, and will handle decently.

i'm running es100's right now. they're nice for long wear and occasional hard cornering. it's nothing compared to my old azenis, though. i love them rt-615's. it felt like i could take any corner with speed. i also had 'azenis' and 'falkin' part painted in white and 'rt-615' in red.
