    well that was out of left field

    seconded not everyone can run semi's but a good set of tires could prevent another ding

    How exactly is this relevant to the topic at hand?
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Great photos - though generally Rule #1 of the car photography world - avoid taking photos on grass.

    It does a good job of making your car look lower though

    I won't. I've done it before and I get called a cheater

    great pics niko, what kind of camera do you use and i'm not feeling that truck tread on the tires
    Really? They're BFgoodrich G Force TA KDW, a lot of people love them including me... they came with the car when I bought it. You probably won't see them anymore once I replace my 4 tires cause I'll be looking for a cheaper option.

    I wasn't sure about the grass, but I wanted to try something different... the car did end up looking as if it was lowered, which was great

    Clothes will remain on for the time being

    This thread delivers.
    Niko, you're a jerk. A lucky, lucky jerk.
    whoa, is your car fixed now??? congarats dude.
    Thank you guys.

    Niko_FX congrats on your car being fixed. And you wife is hot. What else have both of you done in that car so far--I mean in the back seat?
    Thanks, no back seat.

    Nice pictures of the car Niko! I'm just visualizing a very hot guy instead of your wife on and around the car. (I hope your not insulted by that.)
    lol don't worry about it.

    I use the G Force KDWS on the rear (245/50 R16) and I've been pretty happy with the dry traction from them. Also driving hundreds of miles over wet/icy roads and sometimes snow, I've never had to worry much about them. My old tires on the other hand were very, very scary at times. I would say don't go the cheaper route... tires are your number 1 safety device in bad conditions.

    Never liked the 350, but this made it better. Niko, does your wife know of her online fanbase?

    You street race? Hit me up and we'll see what your G35 has against my 599.

    Yep, I pretty much told her where I was posting the photos and even read some replies to her the first day.

    I posted her photos on 3-4 forums.

    - This is a local Z forum, most of these guys know you and me in person so you can expect pretty decent comments.

    - This is UCP, they've known me for years here and won't be disrespectful either.... + I have a ban stick .

    - This is another random forum, get ready for the worst.

    Some people fail to understand that me and my wife tried to get some "pro"ish photos of her with the car and not create a "Hooker with a Z" thread.

    I use the G Force KDWS on the rear (245/50 R16) and I've been pretty happy with the dry traction from them. Also driving hundreds of miles over wet/icy roads and sometimes snow, I've never had to worry much about them. My old tires on the other hand were very, very scary at times. I would say don't go the cheaper route... tires are your number 1 safety device in bad conditions.
    The thing about the tires that I have right now is that they are overpriced because they are designed to look "aggressive". They're good tires, but not worth the money... my next purchase will be something decent at a decent price.... These I only have them because they came with the car when I bought it.

    Thanks for the comments everyone.

    Do you mean a 599 GTB?

    I would be a dreamer to ever go up against a 599 GTB? Never, ever!
