What? Are you serious? Good luck driving on horrific NYC roads with those tires, that's all I can say.

might as well just cut out the middleman and forego the tire altogether. you know, really get that "connected with the road" feel!

i hope you have nice smooth roads out there, nothing will make your day worse than a cracked rim and shredded tire from nailing a pothole. GL

Whenever I see you post, I always see ACURA, then read it as ACURAcy. Don't know why.

Just for our edification could you please post a photograph of your tire? Maybe include something with a standard size, a dollar bill maybe, along side it for comparison.
