Tires are the single most important part of a car, as they are the only part that actually touch the ground.

Meh, any car can go fast in a straight line.

Actually, you might be surprised by that outcome as well... per the MT article. They make it seem like the SS is a true throwback to the days of big horsepower and little emphasis on anything else.
