In reply to tiretab:

A canoe means that someone joined the website to solicit. Most of the time it is something not car related, like porn. A canoe is also almost always a Bot. You are obviously not a Bot.

Also, while this is a cool, maybe not the way to introduce yourself. Just saying... I do like the idea though.

'Canoe' brings the mods a runnin' when a 'bot or etc spams a thread with boner pill or etc ads. It's their choice whether to delete the thread.

I did a couple of test clicks, it's actually a pretty cool tool. I'd suggest that maybe you ask the mods where you might put this.

Ahh I see... Yeah I'm not a bot, just your regular Miata track guy. Also i have been reading threads from here for a long time just never had a reason to post.

Im just trying to let more people know of tiretab. Also this being a car forum a lot of people would benefit from it.

That's pretty darn cool!

I especially look forward to using it when either the user can input their own variables, or you expand your size and brand tables further.

And for a bot, you're programmed to appear very human.

I understand what you're saying. But on the other hand, he introduced himself by giving us a gift.

Welcome to the forums, TireTab. There are plenty of us here who have been on these forums a long time, and we've gone on to live perfectly normal lives... with 17 non-running project cars and no money.

Hahaha When I bought my miata it turned into a 7 month project that sat on jackstands the whole time. I started the tear down 2 days after buying it. Rebuilt the motor, suspension, steering, brakes. It was well worth it ;)

I just took the site for a spin! That is a real grassroots web effort, no power assisted nuthin! I was not pestered or asked to join anything, I did not need to frantically find a way to click out of some awful flash thing that was going to take two more minutes to load, no music started blaring, and nothing poped up. Just a couple fields that yield tire prices when filled. A+. JoeBob says check it out.

I definitely like the search by size option for when you just want to see what the cheapest shoes are for your Miata.

Its gonna be even better when we have more models and vendors. Its gonna be more data than people even know what to do with =p. Built in a way that is easy to navigate and filters so you only see what you want.

Wish it was expanded a bit, my Grassroots Tow Vehicle needs some Mickey Thompson Baja Claws.

But yes, very nice clean interface.

No General tire?

also why no 175/70/13? Very popular size for older small cars (civic, etc)
