new (to me)) rear tires

so I have been riding on really severely bald tires, not just no tread but stuff is actually starting to poke out of the rubber which I dont even know what that means..So I went to the JY and saw actually a surprising 4 festivas, and found a pair that were a match to mine and seemed in good shape. Ran with them up front at first and had some shaking i suppose i will need to balance them, but for now i swapped them with the rears and no more shaking. also now i have all gr2s all round and the ride is a lot nicer.


previous tires, pretty bad right??







now the jy tirres.








old...


less old

WOW thats some BAD tires... those things poking out the side are the cords... its what holds the tire from flying apart at speed!!! lol.... you where lucky they didnt let go at speed....

[Charlie1717]

Holy crap! Those tires were done, 5,000 miles ago! hahaha
Good looking junk yard tires though.

[Claude]

lol...yeah i figured that wasnt good

Damn, someone did their homework on this. Good Luck!

[Tommychu]

Nah, those are good to go. The steel cords are for traction on the ice. They dig in like studs. [/sarcasm]

[Claude]

yeah i kinda thought that! especially when ive been taking turns at 40, i feel like im gonna die but something tells me the traction is better!

escort visors

How does the visors fit? Can't tell by the pic if they hit the mirror. I must say the visors are most annoying non-feature on the Festiva's.
