Anyone pick up their 03 from the dealer with the nubs on the rear tires?

Accords can spin the tires?

I imagine the concrete floor was slippery enough to allow them to do it. But you have to figure that the GT's and Cobra's can do it with no problem.

5 miles, NO NUBS! BUT, I checked all around the inside of the well and it was perfectly clean. Not a sign of rubber particles. I questioned the salesperson about the missing nubs and he shrugged his shoulders. Not much he could say I guess. 400 miles later and not one problem. It doesn't take much to wear the nubs down. Even if you don't torch the tires, a good solid acceleration will put some stress on the surface of the tire and later days nubs.

6.3 miles on the clock at delivery. I put an additional 18 miles on it during my first test drive.

Nice perky nubs all around...

It was love at first sight.

Just thinking about it is giving me a chubby!
