Default Pics: New tires and powder coated exhaust tips

Just got new tires put on 275/30 and 245/35 combo. Also got my exhaust tips powder coated gloss black.

The front looks like there is more of a gap now.

Great job on the tips. They contrast well with the body color.

I havent driven it much since i got the tires, but intial thought it feels alot better!

Road feel is awesome, i dont feel the pot holes and its not as harsh of a ride.

Handling is great, the car feels like it sticks to the road more. Corners are better and long sweepers are great. I would def recommend it. I did a quick launch on the freeway on ramp and couldnt chirp the tires, but i didnt fully get on it.
