I've learned it's not fun getting a car that owns you & that you don't have the funds to enjoy....I think it's better owning a ride that you can afford + still have the funds remaining to drive it to places that are fun...or doing mod's to make it your own...

I really like your Monte & it looks great...Wish you the best in your decisions & your journey in `life ~ > EnJoy
Thanks Space! I don't think I can't necessarily afford to drive it in general, it's just that I end up spending too much money on it when I don't need to and it doesn't help or hold it's value at all. If I had the car paid off it would be staying for sure, it depends on what I can do on it as far as current maintenance or preventative maintenance before winter.. I have some small rust under the doors which is fairly common for a car that's almost 10 years old, but if I can't stop it then I think it needs to go

I was contemplating later down the road getting the Goodyears and selling my Hydroedges just because they look a bit meaner but if performance is better I'd keep my Hydroedges.
Thanks!

I like the Hydroedges better personally, my girlfriend has them on her Grand Prix and they seem to be a lot quieter and still last a long time. As far as performance I'm not 100% sure, I haven't tried to throw a nearly 2 ton vehicle into a corner at 60 with them like I have with the TripleTreads.

The TripleTreads performance is great, they grab the ground great... when they're warm I can barely do a burnout, when they're cold I still can't do much.

With the girlfriends car I've basically just driven highway and they're real comfortable and quiet.
