I doubt passing snow stops would be possible with these.

Yeah I was checking those out when they first came in over at AA and they are quite a bit wider than most 225's they had there and most I've seen.
the FK-451's are actually a somewhat thin 225. I ran them on my civic for crying out loud..haaaa. good tire though.
a lot of these pure performance 225's are wider..like S03's and RE070's...all run a bit wider. I ran 512's and went to RE070's...both 225...the re070's rubbed. not anymore though..haaa.
I'm thinking of rolling and trying to stuff a really wide 235 or a 245. That will make me happy.

i try to promote saving your guys life and then get yelled at WTF!
Before i met the monday night SC guys here on I-club, i was running with a guy i "knew" he was cutting the corners pretty bad, i was in my miata so i had no prob keeping up with the turbo volvo. He cut over the other lane on a 180' left with cliff on left (totally blind) i was like **** this, i saw two blue subys and a red miata pass going the OPPOSITE way LESS THAN 1 MINUTE LATER! I WAS LIKE OHHH MAN! if the volvo were any slower they wouldve met at that corner and hit forsure.
So i ebraked a dirt turn out and started to chase my new friends up a road so cool i cant say the name of (PM)

in the "downhill video" thread. some other guy and i call out the noobs that are doing maneuvers that dont involve common sense. crossing the line around a blind corner, it really makes me sad.
