But a stolen gun may be used to commit murder. I doubt someone's gonna strap a set of Nissan sport package rims onto their car just to run someone over.

I finally got my car back!

However I'm not happy, the Yokohama Advan Sport feel so weird, so much understeer...could it be I got a set of lemons?

The bf goodrich kdw's and kumho spts were alot less in price and I never felt any form of understeer...

I dont think you got lemons, I am in the process of switching these stock tires out myself because i have never had such a horrible experience with a set of tires as these. I find that when the weather is even moderately cool outside they have absolutely no traction whatsoever and in the wet they are even worse. I am contemplating getting michelin pilot sport as3's.

Is it usual protocol for an insurance company to just replace with stock tires? I thought they have to replace what you have on at the time of loss.

They have to pay OEM value, you can decide to do whatever you want with it.
How the OP ended up with a set of stock everything without making a few grand on the side, I will never know. I'm sure the dealer's owner was laughing his áss off

its very simple....what you just described that's called defrauding.

Dealer might be laughing his *** off, but i'm sleeping at night without a guilty conscience.

Um... No it's not...
Insurance paid $7000 to the dealer. Meaning they were willing to cut you a check for $7000 and you could get it fixed however way you see fit. Because it is your car, you own it, you do what you want. Like them not getting the tires you want, LOL, as long as the tires you want are cheaper than OEM, I don't know why you'd stand for that.
And here's my price replacement breakdown if you took a check for $7000

Price you can get everything, shipped: Nismo wheels $1989, plus center caps, $240, plus TPMS, (let's say) $400, (let's say) Michelin PSS installed WITH a Costco Business membership $1500

Add that up $4129, I REALLY doubt the damage done to the car was $2871, and you'd lawfully get to keep the remainder.


What the dealer did is charge $1000/wheel, FULL retail or more, accuse him of defrauding the insurance company

I have no problem posting the estimate, however your numbers are a bit off.
Also Statefarm wrote the check to the dealership and myself in the "Pay to the Order" section so am I in a bind with them?

mytoyo2k1

I know that's what I thought I tracked down 2 stores that had the tires in-stock I sent the guy handling my car the estimates and he gave me a lame reason why they can't purchase from them.

Doesn't matter. Value is value. You go to jail based off of price. Guns are stolen for profit and selling. Murders don't go around breaking into cars in hopes of finding a gun to go kill someone. Premeditated murder isn't as popular as you think haha.
