Civic Max Speed

Just got back tonight from driving the Civic from Etown to Cali. and back and around that area, about 8000km total drive, at any rate, I managed to get the Civic up to 220km/h in Death Valley driving through the desert, with 3 people in the car to boot, it was some insanely crazy shiat. Then, after finally getting back to Etown, the stock tire on my Vic blows on the Whitemud. Anyone know a good tire place?

I am surprised the stock tires was able to hand 220 kph speeds, I did not think they were rated so high.

If you want to fix the blown tire, any shop will do. I usually go to Fountain Tire. I would recommend you replace them though.

Well, I replaced the tire today and found the hole in it which was about a circle with a 3mm diameter, they said it would have been repairable if the rim hadn't cut the crap out of the inside of the tire. It is such a damn shame though to see such a high performance tire like the stock Firestones our cars come with bite the dust.

Almost brings a tear to the eye...
