Don't get me started on goddamn potholes. My car + my sister + pothole roads in New Brunswick = future suspension problems.
Seriously, I'd go with rims first if I were you. 16's or 17's preferred.

17's.

17's.

I love my 16s... plenty of stick, but nowhere near bone-jarring. You should ask to go for a ride in a car with 17s to see what it's like.
I gotta harass Gord or Kevin during dyno day for a spin :D
Then again, if I break 100WHP... I get to take Brooksy's SVTF for a rip :D

It's about time I got some recognition for my work.

Don't if I switch over to 17's instead of my 16's, I have to change my tires?
I don't want that, so I'll just stay with my 16's.
Frost__2001... thanks for the advice, because I completely forgot about the warranty. Thanks for reminding me! :D

The road through my way is pretty good but i think only anthonyd has been through this way. The roads has gotten alot better in the last few years and this year thier fixing roads like mad, i have never seen so much construction on our roads since i can remember. Most highways i have been on are pretty good but they can all use some improvement :D Did you like it down here? b/c that's all we need is bad press :lol:

Oh the wife and I loved it there... if not for the fact the job market's as active as a bag of potatoes we would consider moving there.
The roads weren't overly bad, but I'm just quite glad I had the stocker 14s on while we went out there... and the 65 series sidewall didn't hurt either. :blink:
Seriously... Fundy National Park's highway kicks ass... and having a small town in the middle of a park (Alma) is too cool!
We enjoyed most of the roads through Nova Scotia, too - especially the one that runs east and then south from the border (almost) to Truro. What a run through the hills.
Truro, on the other hand... someone please fill that place in and make it the world's largest parking lot. The road engineers were on a cocaine bender when they designed that place! :ph34r:
