Six types of tigers

There are currently six subspecies of tigers. The different subspecies are found in areas of Asia, India, and Russia. The largest subspecies is found in snowy areas of Russia. The smallest and darkest subspecies is found farther south, in the jungles of Indonesia. Tigresses (females) are always smaller than males.
Siberian or Amur tiger Panthera tigris altaica— The largest of the tiger subspecies, males can be as long as a station wagon! These tigers also have the palest orange coat and the fewest stripes.
Bengal or Indian tiger Panthera tigris tigris— This is the most common subspecies of tiger.
Indochinese tiger Panthera tigris corbetti— These tigers are about 20 percent smaller and are darker than Bengal tigers.
Malayan tiger Panthera tigris jacksoni — This is the subspecies at the San Diego Zoo.
South China tiger Panthera tigris amoyensis— These tigers are slightly smaller than the Indochinese subspecies. In the 1950s, the Chinese government ordered that these tigers be destroyed because they were viewed as pests. Today, there are less than 30 South China tigers left in the wild. Thankfully, the Chinese have taken steps toward a plan to protect the remaining South China tigers.
Sumatran tiger Panthera tigris sumatrae— Even though the Sumatran is the smallest tiger subspecies, it’s still a pretty big cat. Imagine a tiger the same length as a school cafeteria table!

Let me ask you this then, which tires have you found to be the worst in the rain? (Goodyear Eagel Gatorbacks) Like the tires that come on the Z51 Corvette?

Ever think about moving up to a newer one? Are those less dangerous in the rain?

I remember constantly rereading issues of EGM trying to decide which was the best for me, looking at one set of screenshots versus another set.

Rogaine works by revitalizing shrunken hair follicles, thus increasing their size. When you use Rogaine every day, your follicles may increase in size, and the growing phase may become longer. This may then produce longer, thicker hairs.
Rogaine is a clear alcohol-based solution and should be applied to a person’s thinning area with its supplied dropper or spray twice a day.
The solution is approved and available in two strengths -- Regular (2%) and Extra Strength (5%). Individual users of regular strength Rogaine have claimed success rates of 30-40%. Meanwhile, users of Extra Strength Rogaine have claimed success rates of 50-60%. Currently, the average price for a 2oz. bottle of Rogaine is about $20-30 per month. Minoxidil is also available as a generic and can be purchased over the counter without prescription.
It’s important to note that Rogaine (minoxidil) does not cure baldness and scientists have been unable to determine just how it works. What is known is that Rogaine increases the blood flow to the areas of the scalp that surround these balding areas. Currently some researchers believe that Rogaine (minoxidil) works by opening the follicle’s potassium channels located in the cells. It’s theorized that these channels, when opened, may regulate hair growth.
Rogaine can’t grow hair on completely bald scalps or in the frontal hairline areas. It has been found to be somewhat effective in maintaining or growing hair in the crown area (the top back of the head). However, Rogaine is only effective at delaying hair loss. It is also more effective in women than in men. And again, the reasons for this are not understood

LOL, now this is good advice. You forgot the miracle grow. Good stuff, use it on my nittos all the time (increases wear) along with elmers glue to stick at the track.

so far the BF Goodrich VR tires are the most common and easiest to get and it has a tight tred pattern.

Don't let air out of your tires, they will wear so much more quickly and makes your car handle worse. Also fuel consumption and emissions increase.

Canned air, cool!

Let's get serious now. If you want to use something other than regular air the alternative is nitrogen. It is a homogenous gas that does't react with steel, aluminum or rubber so no corrosion in wheels. It keeps tires cooler and temperature changes smaller that means tire pressure stays stable. Tires last longer because of this, they have also lower rolling resistance which is equal to lower consumption.
