I know that this blog is morphing into either a car blog or a food blog. Haha. Yes, these are just two of the things I am obsessing about lately. Couple of months ago, you would always see me frequenting ebay and watching bids for those prada handbags. But then nowadays, it's either the Lexus forum or TireRack.com. Yup... the prada bag obsession turned into automobile tires obsession. Hayyy... I know I am sort of weird.
Anyways, the main reason why I've been researching about tires is because Kimi's rear wheels need to be replaced pretty soon. Now that I found out that the new set of front tires that my dealership put on Kimi has really bad reviews *although they were the original set of tires for '03 IS300 Sportcross*, I've decided not to trust them with replacing my rear tires. So yeah, I am reviewing a couple of tires. *Geek!*
I am still debating if I should give up speed rating over performance. As you know, I live in the hot desert of Arizona but there are times that I wanted to go up north where it's snowing. Since Kimi's an RWD car and is currently using ultra-high performance summer tires, it's too risky to drive him in snow. So yeah, the idea of getting all-season tires is bugging me. But then, all-season tires do not come in Z-speed rating *meaning you can't go past 106 mph for an R-rating*. Yeah, that sucks! Sacrifice speed just to be able to drive in snow?
