I'm up for something tonight,
I don't know why my studs keep breaking, and when it break, not just 1 would break. 4 would break and I have like 1 holding to my wheels.

Here is an email I just sent to Tire Rack.
Customer Service,
I placed an order on 2/17/2006 for 4 new wheels and tires. Since it was winter at the time I was not able to install them until 3/30/2006.
On 4/11/2006 I noticed my front passenger side tire was low. I sprayed soapy water on it to find that the bead between the tire and wheel was leaking. I took it in to a local Firestone shop and they removed the tire from the wheel and re-sealed the bead. I had to pay the $25.21 repair fee.
Today, 5/14/2006 I noticed my front driver’s side tire was low and it was the same damn problem. The bead was leaking and it cost me another $25.21.
So after spending $2,000 on tires and wheels and putting my tires in the hands of your “skilled technicians” it has cost me an extra $50 and 3 hours of my life waiting for the repairs. I can’t wait until I have to rotate my tires and find that my rear tires may leak as well.

No it's not drivable, very annoying and unsafe. happened twice already. Last time it was going from like maybe 90 to 0 now that was scarry. I came out of the car and looked. it's not a flat, but then I see something was missing, and only 1 lug nut was attached. I know I was in trouble. Stuck in the middle of IL.

I've been thinking. Lately with all the times and beers that we all had shared at the shop, I think I'm gonna put a fridge out there.
Don't worry Alex, I'll keep your Heinekens cool...

For the 11.5 - 13.49 range:
[QUOTE=dryad001]... Reverse lockout mandatory. ...[QUOTE]
Hmm, the '03 Evo didn't come with a reverse lockout.
Mike, do you have reverse lockout?
