    Protege5 replacement tires

    Just thought i would add my 2 cents too. I also have a P5 which needed new tires in May.

    performance times Complete performance times can be found atajac.ca It's is interesting that the 2.0L is faster than the 2.3L doing normal acceration run rather than the car & driver ( I can't drive) clutch dump. These numbers on this site are right in line with the European numbers. Could...
