***TST's Official "Boring" Thread, Part Deux***

[grimm]

the rt-615's are one of the best street performance tires I have ever had. they don't last very long, maybe 2 summer seasons.
I moved to the rt-452's they lasted me about 3 summer seasons. i put about 100 highway miles on my car a day.

personally I stick to falken i have never been let down. great performance at a reasonable price.

[Big_Jim]

ive had great luck with falken tires.

You can come with if you want; I have to call them first and see if I can just stop in and talk or actually set a time to talk...I dunno, they're real busy there.

You should be able to schedule a consultation visit. Just stopping in trying to talk to the actual artist might be tough, especially if they are a busy shop. Call ahead schedule a consultation. Bring your ideas, pictures, and anything else that will relate to the tattoo. The other thing you might want to bring are pictures from the artist’s portfolio that made you choose them for your tattoo. That will help the artist figure out exactly what you want. The other thing you want to check is how to bring your pictures and ideas to the visit. Some shops have computers, some don’t, some artists are more familiar with certain formats so ask about the format they work with in the shop. Hopefully that helps.

I walked into the tattoo shop 30 minutes before closing and left 10 minutes before closing. Mine was a simple tattoo consisting of 3 words, 7 letters in thin, simple script.

I don't regret the tattoo at all but if I ever get something bigger/more complicated, I won't be doing that again

thanks for the advice; i have a picture of my general idea where i got the concept from and i have ideas in my head...so ill have to look around real hard for what i have in my head; as well as stop being lazy and draw it out myself.
i just explained everything to Susie; and the original concept out of the picture to what I want; makes them completely different.

true.

[HickRocket1258]

I have BFG Drag radials on my camaro, have BFG Goodrich tires on my Monte Carlo and Sumitomos on my mustang. I got the BFGS on my Monte for a damn good deal.

And Suzie, it seems like you get new shoes every other week?

yup, though, i have been thinking of getting rid of the durango, and getting a nice awd sedan.

[grimm]

the 615's are the only tire that had me grinning ear to ear due to their road hugging performance. the 452 are a step down in performance but a step up in tread life. The 215's are decent, again not quite as dry performance oriented as the others but good tread life.
for me it's:
Summer tires = Falken
Winter Tires = Bridgestone

It does kind of seem like that, huh? I actually had not bought a new pair of sneakers in over a year before the last ones I picked up.

Haha yeah it does seem like that. Although I have bought more shoes in this past year than I have in my life time.

they only had dw(idk if thats same as DWS) @ 124..

i think creamery tire said 124/tire installed.. might just end up doing that. that might've been for a slightly thinner tire too.. 215..

Creamery will do 124 a tire for 225/45, but they are on backorder there as well, for at least a month (or so I was told).
