I haven't done it but have always wanted to. if you decide to come out to do it, let me know and i'll see if I can join you. from the people I've talked to that have done it, all love it and say its worth it. but I haven't talked to anyone thats really into cars/driving that has done it. just kinda like casually oh you know cars are cool and their wife got it for them as a present or a work thing or something.

you have a civic too? tell me more part of me wants to say they're gonna roll things back as we get closer, part of me wants to say the next president is gonna be a republican again (going off the flip flop thats been going on for the last 20+ years I've been paying attention) and they're gonna relax the requirements... but my GM just got back from some industry pool conference, the OEMs are pushing electric hard, hybrid too but to a much lesser degree. so now I'm worried this might actually be a thing...

stagger would actually save money. I could get narrower wheels and tires for the rear. I wouldn't be able to rotate them, but I'd just replace the front tires more often than the rear. the only real "problem" they'd cause is slowing down me trying different tires. also makes it easier to stuff tires under the rear fenders... so thats a nice bonus I got one that tops your Type R story... I had a kid with a Legacy change the oil on his car. So he drained the transmission and filled the engine... so that killed the transmission... and he traded it in for a new Legacy. Which he was planning to do already, just that now he got a lot less for the trade.

naw, you’re not wrong… for most tires 5 years isn't a long time. The 200tw class has been pretty competitive since the Z2 competitors started coming out, that was the tire that really started it all. Well, technically it was the RT615, but things didn’t really start happening till the Z2. The last 5 years, basically since the RE71R, things have been going nuts. Some tires even getting multiple updates in a single year. I don’t see anything about the Z3 being third fastest…?

Yeah the Z2 and Z3 were great tires, especially the Z2 for its time and I’ve had both. It was the first 200tw to give rcomps a run for their money.. and it was a real 200tw so it lasted pretty decent too. But they are pretty dated now, the 200tw club has been through 4-5 generations since the last Z3 update. The Z3 was a hair slower than the RE71R but fell off even quicker. if you look at the tirerack test, the only 200tw tire that’s slower is the tire I’m currently on (which I bought cause at the time they were on special for super cheap, under $100 a tire). Even the 240tw Michelin is faster. Sorry to rain on your parade, the Dunlop is a great tire, it’s just outdated now. I wish Dunlop would update it, it was my first sticky tire so I have a soft spot for them https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=302 (I wish they included the 220tw Goodyear Supercar 3 in this test since they included the 240tw Michelin) but yeah, camber helps a lot in handling… on any tire
