^ it was an option that my uncle wanted me to get since he was afraid of turbo'd cars. I didn't knew if that even existed.. but Senator Subaru offered it..

Last year my stock dp clogged because of my bov. I took off the bov and went to dealership thinking that my turbo + other things blew. They took it in and fixed it without a question. I told them that it could be the turbo.. blah blah.. mechanic looked at my file and said, "no prob, will take care of it."

I bought a brand new set of those last year, was tearing down icehouse & dipped two tires in the dirt for a second.

Result: both right side tires flat

LOSE

So, besides stealing laptops, you also defraud businesses.

Woah! Double side wall blowouts??? I off road mine (I know stupid with a lowered car) in sand, gravel, river rocks. But, if you lost two in the dirt (assuming no pot holes, etc). I should probably slow my fast a** down!!! EEEK!

I blew one out on the driver's front last winter @ 65 mph on the highway with light snow mid corner. Was able to gather it and get to the side of I-5! I wrote it of as a freak event...

Looks like I will be pulling these off the car when snow hits for premium snows ~ and tossing these puppies right in the can!

I'll buy some serious summer tires next spring to replace the Generals...

I drive WAY too fast on tiny, almost untraveled roads, to be worried if my tire is going to let go mid corner and trip me onto my roof.
