Nice score on the tires. Anymore, I am thinking about going to a 16 or 17 inch rim for the ease of purchasing a wider variety of tires. Seems like the 15" are becoming very limited for selection.

helped a friend replace his rear diff on his 99 runner yesterday. both ring and pinion had broken teeth. he had his bearings done a week ago and they said "seems like your diff has a whine." no pics. phone died.
and patched up our shiddy grand am.
intake mani gaskets where shot.
now their not. and it might last another season. before retiring at pick n pull
