He should just drink the tire shine and save us all from his next mishap.

maybe they should tell him not to put it directly on the tread of the tires and take turns at 60? I don't believe the product was at fault.

That's like going to a car wash, and as soon as the car is washed, you floor it and then wonder why you hit a bus.

Yes you're right. Well...I've made a mistake and did apply the product on the contact tread area. I still think, the companies making these products should have a warning on the front: " Don't apply on tread area", fully visible, instead a picture of gloss tire all around.

This car was a special Maxima edition with 255 HP turbo charger. 6,2 sec 0-100km/hr Stillen version, safe Michelin V92 , 235 tires. The car was designed to take these kind of turns with a double speed. I applied the Castrol gloss on the tires ... that's what happen.
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha ... He doesn't know jack about any car let alone the maxima

Some kid did that on is300.net a long while back and slid into a tree. I think he wanted to sue the tire company for bad tires (just had them put on) until it came out that he put tire shine on the treads and was called out for being an idiot.

I would buy that engine set up because it changes from a 255hp stillen turbo charger, to a 280hp vortech supercharger. Thats freaking incredable! Best of both worlds, that guy has no freaking clue what he is talking about since the car some how gained 25hp from page one until page 3!!!

EIBACH!!! hahahaha... i informed him that he was a f-ing moron and that unless they somehow invented transforming suspension parts that double as turbos he was full of it. his g/f started pointing and laughing at him as i drove off.
