2023 GT Line new owner from MD

[Jdbaker82]

Drove 4 hours to pick this up last Friday @MSRP from Jim Shorkey KIA (near Pittsburgh), decided to get 20 tint all around and 70% on the windshield. Really happy with this car so far managed to get 33-34 MPG HWY w the AWD going to Ocean City this past weekend with the family both kids car seats in the back.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your brand new Stinger! What did the Stinger replace for you? I’m glad you found us.

Congratulations! Did you get the red leather interior or the black?

I would have got red if I had a choice it just so happened to be black. Found this thing on a whim.

Howdy and welcome. Enjoy the fun ride.

@OP, how are you finding the stock tires? I thought they were ok for straight line driving, but cornering at speed wasn't too confidence inspiring.

I wouldn't know yet haven't done any severe twisty turn; I would hope they would be damn good, though, considering the price of the tires (I looked them up out of curiosity)

It's an OE tire, of course it's going to be overpriced. I took possession of my car 8/2/2021 which was a monday. That weekend I drove a familiar twisty route (as twisty as gets here in PRIL). Very familiar with the route on both 2 and 4 wheels. I wasn't feeling it with the bridestones. Felt like they were going to break loose. On 8/13 I had the tires in my sig installed.

Sold the "new take off tires" with less than 500mi on CL for $400. New tires were ~$840 installed so $440 which I thought was reasonable.

Awesome might just consider new tires with the new enkei wheels I plan on buying soon
