Default Fresh Rubber

It was time to replace the rear tires as I've been driving the IS3 more as of late (just under 55K on the clock, BTW).

Pulled the wheels and was a little surprised to see that I have some issues in the rear, looks mostly like a camber issue, although the toe may be out a bit as well:




Here's the new rubber on the rims, all cleaned, degreased and ready to go on the rice burner:



Bonus, booty boom shot of the tail end:

BTW, forgot to mention that the brown residue on the right tire in the 1st pic is from the composite 4 X 1"'s that I use to lift the car slightly by driving up on them. Looks like that wheel spun a bit and picked up some of the material.

Just goes to show you how fast and powerful this beast is!!
