Thanks guys! I'll work on isolating the miss...or maybe just replace the plug wires. If that doesn't work I'll let you know.

My 93 Mark VIII has started missing. It started at low RPM, like right after a gentle upshift. I replaced the spark plugs and both coil packs and it helped a little, but it seems to be starting to get worse. Today I got on it a little and it continued to run rough, but in waves. The plug wires...

Hey XLRVIII! Are you still racing the same Granny's Car? How many miles have you wracked up? My husband, ironically named Mark, gets a kick out of my tales about visiting Houston to drag race and autocross!

Thanks guys. This was where I first found out about 9-11. Someone posted a picture of the towers telling everyone to turn on the news...

Fantastic Pics! Are you a professional photographer?

After years away, I'm glad to see you all are still here. I got busy at work and stopped coming by, but when the door handle finally broke on the ol' Mark VIII I got curious and checked back in. I see a few names I remember! For those of you who know me: Things have changed for me; I got my...

Anybody know if the fronts fit without interference?

I like the wide tire look. The ones I looked at were about the same height, too.

Who is using 245/50/16s on their mark and does it cause any problems? These ar wider but about the same height as the 225/60/16s. I need to make sure that there won't be any rubbing or handling issues. Thanks.

"Also, I could easily 'light 'em up' on the Conti's where with the Michelins it was much, much more deliberate to get them to break traction" When I put the Michelin Pilots on the car I was a disappointed because the car no longer "barked" when it hit second gear. I had forgotten about that...

I don't drive the car much in rain, but do want wet traction, too. I read the reviews in Tire Rack and also like the Yokohamas. I want the 245/50/16s for the look, but want to make sure that they won't rub or anything. I may get a harder compound this time since I'm not driving the car as...

I didn't want to put this in the tires forum because there appears to be nothing there... I'm considering putting 245/50/16s on my car. It currently has 225/60/16s. I like the wide look but don't want the car to follow every little ripple or joint in the road. I have some Michelin Pilots on it...

There were some advertised a while back but I don't see them here now. I'm due for tires and thought chrome directionals would look good. I have the snowflake wheels in pretty good shape. I think one has a small scrape. I'll take pics if it gets to that. Thanks!

How did you get them so clean? Do you still have them? I will need tires soon and those are attractive wheels.

I thought of replacing the air ride on the MK VIII except that I had already bought all new parts. All I lack are the height sensors and air lines. Now I realize I bought more than I need but the fact that everything is new gives me some peace of mind. I'll need a battery in the not-too-distant...
