I was just in Norfolk today, and if it is a daily, get a decent set of normal tires for now, winter will suck with almost any performance tire. Just find something with good traction and wear rating.

What size of rims do you have, are the fronts smaller?

And I run 3.73 gears.

You won't pop any tires lol. I would run 225/50/r15 in front, and I run 275/50/r15 in back. the way your car sits, if you can find something with a taller sidewall, go for it. Like a 275/60/r15

This is HUGE. Electric fans help a lot anywhere. Probably the best money I spent on my Monte haha.

Thanks for the info and yeah that is what i plan to due just get a performance radiator and dual 3100 cfm fans total and a trans/engine cooler and a 4 in 1 tach gauge water temp, oil pressure, rpms, volts. But my plan was to get this stuff in August 2013 along with the compltete interior let u know about later, but just to hold me off because i heard it is must to get OD transmission with the low gears 4:10s are you saying it is not neccessary with the extra cooling we'll have.. also i don't plan on doing very much driving for long distances past 55mph but i just want to be able to when i want though without having any issues thats why i'm investing in the 700r next January what do you think...
