They have an All Season tire (HTR A/S P01) in addition to the Max Performance Summer HTR Z III.

Ah, I am guessing those have a decent wear rating if Kracka is planning 25k on them. I am thinking my star specs will be toast after this summer. (prolly less thank 15k miles)

The Hankook's wear rating is 280, the Sumitomo's is 300. Keep in mind that just like sizing, every manufacturer rates the wear rating differently so you really can't accurately cross-brand compare.

GheyrodX is heading up to Cobb this afternoon for new tires, a fresh alignment, and a Whiteline roll center kit.

Let me know if you think the RCK is worth it. I am sure it is but just curious if people feel it at all.

It's cool that Cobb does alignments too, one stop shop.

They've been doing alignments for quite a while. They just recently got a tire mounting/balancing machine. NOW it's a one stop shop.

Whiteline RCK:


The WRX got delayed yesterday (tires, alignment, coolant) so I actually dropped my car off this afternoon and will get it back tomorrow.

It's huge! That's maybe about 1/4 of the shop space, you can't see a few lifts, the alignment rack, dyno, etc. Also not picture are the parts rooms, engine building room, offices, and showroom.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

Whiteline RCK FTW! Even with limited aggressive driving so far I can tell the front-end doesn't want to roll over on itself nearly as much anymore. Whenever I need a clutch I'll do a front anti-sway bar too and call my suspension done.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

Nice. I am going to wait on this until later in the summer, don't want to realign so quickly.

What front sway you going for?

Cobb if they still have one (they're out of production and only 2 left) since it a hollow bar, otherwise Whiteline to match my rear bar & RCK.
