New power flex FCAB. Cured what ailed me. Rides nice. And a wash and wax! Ordered a new windshield washer pump....toast at 34K....oh well, cheap fix.

Any significant seat time with them yet?

Just drove 40 miles today to work. The steering felt lighter and the car accelerates little more easily and the ride is slightly better on the horrendous MI roads. No significant differences but enough to be noticeable. Overall I really like how they look and how they slightly changed the way the car drives now. Il take the car on some nice twisty roads soon to make use of the PSS's grip :biggrin

Some day I hope to have ARC-8s on my car too. The style 135s are way too heavy and maybe its a combination of tire type but I experience quite a bit of tramlining as well.

The ARC-8s just look right on our cars.

Probably the tire. Never had tramlining on the 135s. Then I put on arc-8. No change. Put PSS tires on arc-8, noticeable tramlining.
