I just added a set of decals to my smart, and I recommend everyone buy these for their own safety. I wouldn't let my girlfriend drive my smart till I got the decals. Since the decals though, she now drives with her feet while talking on a cellphone drinking a chi-mocha-green-tea-Macchiato while reading Redbook magazine. Don't hate just coz you don't have decals! ;)

Oh noes... I can't drive my smart if the air is not perfectly stagnant!
Welll.. I can... cause I don't care about living anymore...

I want better mileage could I put extra super skinny tires on front and rear. Smaller contact patch equals less friction. I also plan on plugging my front brake lines as those pesky pads rub on the rotor and rob me of mileage.

You guys are tryin but it's kinda sad. This would have been better:

I'm not worried about the wind while driving the dragon because even if I beat my wife the night before she'll be able to drive my Smart because I swapped coils and put real tires up front.


Keep trying...NOVICE!

Yes you could! I just happen to have two fronts for sale! I'd up the life insurance though. PM me if you want pizza cutters.

Sorry those are way to wide for my taste. Looking for something more like a racing bicycle tire.
