Damn, killer! And umm... "wearing 195/50 Bridgestone Potenza tyres."

I need some new tyres for my car soon... damn, my tyres aren't that old and are going bald. Anyone know some good tyres I can pick up for a good price on the tyres. You know tyres are important, I don't want to ride on shitty tyres.

No word yet on a Kia WRC program but where the Korean has the $55,130 STi on the ropes is price.

The Rio Sedan currently carries a list price tag of $14,990 drive away – but those with WRC fantasies can have the Rio Sport-Pac for an extra $3038 plus fitting.


Nice price difference.

I know, but look at the two prices... The STi is like 3 times what the Kia is.
