It's easy to do that when you engage the e-locker and turn off the traction control.........

Coy,

You've dern near talked me into lookin' at an EB come 2015.

They've been out long enough fer me to trust 'em now. I know, I know...I'm an old-fashioned, backwoods, hillbilly.

Glad yer likin' ye tunes!

You did that car justice!

That urge to spin the tires comes every time it rains . . . I just have to have my wallet remind me that my tires aren't $40 16" Walmart brand Corolla tires. Can't imagine when the diesel guys tear up their Toyo MTs

i wish i just had the urge to do it when it rains.. These poor michelins on the truck have been spun atleast 10 times a day every day since i bought the truck. and they are still at 8/32nd tread.. Hoping to get 50k out of em.

On my 2009 F-150, I took the stock Michelins to 51k miles. Just keep them aired up, and rotated/balanced, and 50k should be easily attained.

On my 2013, I'm hoping to see 40k out of the deal Goodyear Wrangler tires. That's one area Ford is not consistent in. Some trim levels have good OEM tires, while others are inadequate to say the least.

Not if they're getting spun THAT damn much

But that sucks dammit. My tires will maybe last 25k if I'm lucky and I avoid spinning them as much as possible.

As luck would have it the 2nd day im running my truck on the stock tune and i meet a Ferrari and Charger RT playing around.. I kept up pretty well but wouldve blown the Charger away if i was tuned . May have even gave the Ferrari a little more of a run then he would've expected.

Maybe Jim will let me borrow his 5.0 to beat the old man in the Ferrari
