Wow, nice recovery of a 2004 thread.
I did start this thread and just install my third set of RSA's not too long ago.
The RSA is a great tire for dry roads. I take it a bit easier on wet pavement but find the RSA's to grip pretty damn good otherwise.

It's great to see one of the founding father's of the MCF posting. Thanks `Todd for all your contributions, & dedication to the Monte Carlo Family

Not only the animals jumping in front of you, but what if a hidden driveway showed up with a car pulling out? I LOVE going fast, but I keep it at the track. I'm a fire fighter and I've seen plenty of high speed collisions/fatalities. Besides, to the person who started the thread...do you still have stock Eagle RS-A's on your car or do you have better tires? (I'm not a fan of the eagle's, maybe some of you have had better experiences) Be safe everyone!
that's true! luckily, after sunset, you can see vehicles coming from driveways MILES before they do (my home county has some of the best straight-aways around!) i've only done it once w/ my Intimidator, though, and don't intend to do it again any time soon (gas - $3.25+/- and tires $300) I would run my '02 up in the 110 area whenever it got nice out, though... maybe (to pull in another thread) that wood block on the pedal is in order... 
also, have had NO problems with my RSA-W's... but, like IAHKAT, i do take it easy on wet roads (still nervous after Christmas) and leave my trunk empty!
and that's true on the recovery! i just noticed it in the "Recent posts" box and commented... never looked at the post dates!

She not only stole my Monte she took away my man card. lol Hey man, we should get a Texas Monte meet going. You do still have your Monte don't you?
I bet if I am really really nice she will let me use it. On a side note, looks like were doing the family vaction in San Antonio again this summer. We will have to get together for a family picture.

That's good. See here in SW MI, some of it is flat and some of it is hilly w/blind driveways. I'm more concerned with the blind drivers... I'd like to run to MIS sometime and take my car up to 110-115 sometime to see how she handles. Although it'll have to wait until I get the right speed-rated tires. Be safe!!
