Make 400 because " There Michellins I saw the commercials with the baby's in the tire" they must be good.

So on a good day with the wind blowing in the right direction with a mom that needs tires for her Prius you saved/made $900 bucks. Of coarse that short lived after a set of winters and a set of dedicated summers but just sayin.
This ^^

Gonna buy a set of winters shortly and install on the OEM wheels. These will now be my winter wheels, hopefully buy a nice set of 18's next spring with better tires. I have used the stock tires at 4 track days and still haven't managed to kill them yet (despite trying). Will sell 'em off for cheap in the spring and get a set of cheaters on.
