So driving home from work i was getting onto 17 from 7th st and notice this crown vic taking the turn as fast as me...tried to at least. But i ended up having to stop at the merge on light. Anyways as i accelerate he is behind me but absolutely blows the light. I figure Ehh oh well ill just mind my own business. It didn't look like a cop due to the fact that i couldn't see front lights and no spot light on the mirror. Well as he is coming up on my left he absolutely scares the Shit out of me and turn on his sirens for a sec. My windows are always open so it was loud. I look over and barely can see thru his tint but notice that he gives me a thumbs up. All that for a thumbs up. Blowing a light riding my ass then scaring the Shit out of me. A subtle drive by with the windows down and a thumbs up out the window would have sufficed. Lol

I'll chime in here. I think all three are great tires, but their strengths are in different areas. The Z2s are best in wet and cooler conditions, and will last the longest. The RS-3s are the best in warm, dry weather, but don't last as long. The Rivals are somewhere in the middle in most parameters.

Also, the Z2s are very stiff, Rivals are in the middle and RS-3s have relatively soft sidewalls.

P.S. Please don't buy the Ling Longs. XD

The rivals have tons of grip. I was going to go with them, but instead I went with sport comp 2 to get more miles for daily driving.

Thanks for letting me drive your car today. I just read that you have the hotchkis sway bars on it. Are they the adjustable variety? What diameter are they? Would you buy them again? Would you recommend them?
