Re: Hills and Tires

What tires? What brand and model, what size? What have you done to the rear suspension? Is it just worn out and stock?

Atilla can help if you'll just answer all his questions exactly.

Re: Hills and Tires

I got out in the rain storm last two days and I live out middle of nowhere found some backroads and practiced I was just used to not rolling before I give the gas a little tap and now its good on steep hills I have to take it slower by 5-7mph im so used to my v6 and i4 sports cars that you rev and the torque is up high.

Even having all this torque and not much horsepower feels werid but more useful in daily driving.
