5.0 out of 5 stars Performance Wheels & Tires, January 15, 2001

This review is from: Performance Wheels & Tires (Paperback)

This is the definitive reference for performance (and even non-performance) wheels and tires and everything relating such as wheel alignment. This is truly the nerd's book of wheels and tires, as every question I've ever had about wheels or tires is answered in this book. A must-read for any novice or even pro street enthusiast or racer. I consider this the bible of those things that are round and allow a vehicle to roll. Long time coming. Glad it's available. This Mavrigian guy really put a lot of time into this book, and it shows. Great info for anyone, short of a professional tire engineer.
