I'm not him, but I've been hanging around on-line forums for going on 25 years and while that post might be acceptable on a forum you're known on, for those of us who don't have a clue who you are, that as a first post just come across as written by someone who knows he's better than us. It's not friendly, it's just in our faces, this is how it is and you'd be a fool to try anything else because I'm smarter than all of you.

If you are really as smart and well known as everyone seems to indicate, you'd know that, so why do you seem surprised by the reaction?

Me, I join I watch, I contribute when it makes sense, I mention Zaino on occasion when it comes up. I sell Zaino as part of my living, but I don't force it down peoples throats. I sell EFILive too and I don't like seeing HP Tuner threads, but sadly I can't use EFILive to tune my wife's SS and I can't convince Ross to make it work so I just keep my mouth shut. Maybe someday people will realize I know what I'm talking about, or maybe not. I'm not really modding the HHR much so mostly I just read for amusement.

Just don't tell anybody how long, 'kay?

 

I'm a little confused, "lazanio" so I'll offer two opinions. Hopefully one of them might answer your concerns.

If you are taking me to task because I ask someone why I should be banned, you're being unreasonable.

If you are taking me to task because you thought the first post in this thread reads like it was written by "someone who knows he's better than us." sorry, but I think you're wrong. I simply posted the results of some tires testing.

If you are taking me to task because you think the post you quoted above was my first post to the site and, thus, it was inapproprate, well...I've been a member of chevyhhr.net since 2007 and have posted a number of times previous to that.

 

Apologies. it was the first I'd seen of you here or anywhere. I neglected to notice your post count and it was the first post I'd ever seen of yours and the responses were such that it seemed like it was your first post. Ah well, it's not the first time I've stepped in it, and probably won't be the last.

Sorry, Ira

 

25 Years? Seriously? ANY credibility you had is now history.

 

Any chance that this thread could stay on topic?

 

I have looked at these tires before and considered them but may use the new Eagle GT my next change. My buddy has had them on for over a year on a Cobalr SS and has had better results than he did with the original Pirellis.

What I have liked is they are priced very well for what you get mileage and performance wise.

 

I would say that, after testing both the Goodyear Eagle F1 All-Season and the Assurance TripleTred, the F1 AS has the advantage if performance handing is the key factor in a tire purchase decision. If you have an SS or a non-SS with suspension mods such as stiffer springs, stiffer shocks, bigger bars and lowering, then it's a better choice. Also, if you have a stock non-SS which you regularly drive hard in the turns, the F1 AS is better.

The TripleTred isn't quite as good in dry handling, it a tiny bit better in the wet and seems to be capable of better tread life, so for HHRs which are not heaviliy modified for handling or for stock non-SSes which are not driven hard on a regular basis, the TripleTred is the better choice.

I think this thread covers about all I can say on the F1 AS. If you're interested in reading more about the Goodyear Assurance, please see:

Ok now....anybody try the new Continentals out yet? On a side by side they seem to rank quite high and its an all season tire........
