Change the plugs, I had the same problem. As far as tires, I used to only buy PP's now I'm partial to Bridgestone BT014 battalax's, they warm up fast, work great in the turns and they dont wear down too fast in the center for commuting. Here's a link for a great deal on a set.

man, i would have said plugs ages ago. yea, plugs go back very often and its not just the mileage that a factor, its also the age.
also, i have 208s now. I like them. its takes some time to warm up.

Then again i dont really know what to look for to see if the spark plug is bad... Thanks for all the input guys
