    Goodyear F1s 295/45/18

    Goodyear F1s are now not being made anymore. :fm::cuss: I always buy 4 tires 3-4 years in advance so it won’t cost me a arm and a leg for them when I’ll need them in 3-4 years. So when the wife went to our Goodyear store to have my tires mounted, they told her they were being discontinued...

    What to use when you're ready for brake calipers? One of my front calipers was hard to push the pistons back in on my last brake job, now a few hundred miles later, the steering pulls to the left when I start to brake. So I guess it's time for more calipers? Are there rebuild kits for our...
