    RR SS 2010 v. 2012

    Range Rover Sport Supercharged 2010 v. 2012 Thinking about trading up from the 2006 LR3 SE V8 to a Range Rover Sport Supercharged. I love the LR3, but driving up and down I70 to ski, I feel like I would like something a bit more 'ballsy', yet still capable enough to do some moderate (4-7)...

    YATT (Yet Another Tire Thread)

    Ok.. So, I am nearing 18K on my goodyears.. For the most part, they have worn pretty evenly.. One tire has worn a bit more on the inside than the others, but I think that due to a lack of rotating before I got it from the dealer (bought an 06 SE V8 as a dealer demo with 6K) So, as fall...
