I love comments like these... Hotch has rode his Agilis in every weather condition he can think of and they have not lost grip yet... Thats an amazing statement to read after having read the threads about nonsynchro vanagons losing their grip on a wet road.... or snow conditions.... Hey the stiff ride doesn't bother me a bit... rather have stiff than blown-into-mac-trucks-to-my-right... So how much are you guys paying for your Agilis'? How many miles are you getting out of them? Are they a newer tire??? Just reading these last two posts has made my day!
