That's what i'm talking about![^]
Everyone I've talked to says stay away from the plat. plugs on the GT. Copper or Iridium. I prefer the Iridiums. I have tested the stock Champs, vs NGK v-power copper vs Denso ITV16 iridiums. The Denso iridiums gapped at .033 with hi perf wires work best for my car. It has no hesitation starting even when ice cold. It actually caught me off guard after I regapped to .033 on the advise of AZ iceman. My starter barked at me for holding the key too long. Never, ever happened to me before in this car. It always took 2 "er,er's" to start. Now not even 1 before it fires up. My advise, get the one step colder Denso ITV 20. Gap to .033 and watch out for your tires.
Yep, I'm gonna do the plug/wire thingie shortly... [8D]

Your last sentence brings up an interesting point - I dumped the GY LS tires before I had 3000 miles on 'er (only have 8000 now) because they scared the crap outa me... Real bad in rain & little traction in dry too.

Anyway, I' m not a real hotdog & was looking for a good reasonably long wearing, safe tire that performs decently. I ended up buying a set of the new GY Assurance TripleTred & they are fantastic! Even with Stage 1, they just flat hook up and go.

The Michelin HydroEdge is much the same, only a bit high priced. I put a set of these on my Caddie CTS & find they perform about the same as the TripleTreds.
