What exactly does "driving on lego blocks" mean? Just that the ride is harsher or that handling is compromised as well? The tires do warm up after a few minutes of highway driving, right?

I've been thinking about the Bridgestone RE750s. They seem like a pretty good value for the performance and lifespan (I'm guessing they'll probably last 30-40k miles). They seem similar to the...

I'm just looking for a good...

Well, I've driven it about 200 miles, and the clunking has gotten noticeably worse. I can notice it on slightly bumpy roads. It feel like something is loose in the area just below my left foot...

I figured I'd just pad to see if that fixed the problem. I was worried melting might happen so I wouldn't let the car get hot. Once I know where the problem is, I can at least stop worrying (and...
