Yep. Ravi cut me a great deal since I'm out of warranty. The part that irks me is that, if I had dealt with it the first time I saw a drop of coolant on the undertray, I'd have still been under warranty. Don't procrastinate, kids.

OK, today ordered 2 pair of Continental DWS, supposed to be here this week sometime. I have a friend with a shop to mount and balance them, so new rubber for me. My current tires are 5 years old this May (original) with 21K on them, technically they're at the limit of safety even though they still have about 3-4 mm of tread in the middle and besides, they slip pretty bad even in moderate turns, so yeah I'm ready.
Can't wait to see how much quieter the Continentals are. |

Was driving down E Katella ave and hot a cat at 50 or so mph. It cracked the clearcoat on the bumper and scratched it pretty deep :-\

tirerack charges 50bucks or so to ship ALL 4 tires. why would you pay for shipping on every tire? regardless, every tire place will match tirerack prices, if you ask. if not, no harm, no foul. but it never hurts to ask. also, everywhere ive gone, i simply pay a flat rate, between 25-35/tire for all mounting balancing, and recycling. if you're getting charged for weights, you need to go elsewhere. thats a stupid charge

the S04's are overall better tires than the DW's especially in the wet. but the DW's are a lot lighter weight and do fine in the dry. i run DW's on my WEDS set. i like them a lot.
DWS's are amazing for jack of all trades tires. i run them on my dd. light snow? no problem!! where most a/s tire would turn into junk-falken ice skates. lol |
