Looks generally well done, quality work but I don't think it looks good at all. It's not truly race ready but it also looks like it's severely compromised for street use. Basically, I can admire the work but say it isn't my cup of tea.

all the tire whiners need to consider the very real possibility that he might not give a sh!t about traction....he may just want a tire that's easy to break loose and have fun with, and that is also cheap to replace.
I know I had more fun DD'ing with my Kumho's than I did with my Star Specs....

Sr20 - yeah, in the sense that they're easier to break loose in u-turns, slow corners, etc...the star specs are too sticky, and besides - I didn't want to beat up on the 'good' tires, and the star specs are definitely that...

Can you elaborate one what you are referring to here?
I think you may be a bit mixed up on the details of tire dynamics. No disrespect intended.

what i was trying to say is that i like the idea of wide tires. but when you have to run that much camber to make them fit you and up with an overall smaller contact patch. so no matter what tire he is running he would have less grip than the same tire in stock size with stock allignment specs
