The loan is now history, and my rocketship is now mine, free and clear.  To celebrate, I got this:

 

 

Can't wait to try out these sticky beauts.  I signed up for a Martin club autocross on Feb 11th to scrub them in before the SCCA season begins in earnest next month.  I'll post video from the event right after.

Congrats! What a wonderful feeling, not having a car payment. Now you just have to stick with it and don't fall for the trap of "but I can easily afford $XXX a month!" ;)

Congrats!

That's what I run on mine - They're quite a step up from the OE Michelin Super Sports that mine came with.

The best thing is that 4 255/35R18s mounted on 8" wheels are exactly the same width as the hatch area. They don't wobble back and forth during transit.

I bought a set of 235/40's (the OEM size) back when I first bought the car.  Thread They were great, but as time went on others began running two or even three sizes larger, and I found the wins coming less frequently and more difficult to come by.  I could see that my times were becoming traction-limited, and I was at some point going to have to upgrade.  That time is now, and as soon as I have them mounted, I'll post the old ones for sale at a Challenge-friendly price.
