tires

So I finally caved in to costco in KOP for the Michelin PA3 for 257 + tax per tire. Just ordered them today. The michelin all seasons PS2 were 269 + taxes. The rep was helpful and said I did not have to pay the usual deposit to get the tires since They did not have the PA2 anymore that I asked for. So I can always say NO. The reason I chose them was simple. Lifetime balancing, rotation, tire pressure (nitrogen) and pro-rated road hazard. He also suggested R/T tuning in lansdale for a good alignment.

Now there's a guy who knows how to pick tires. I also just got the PA3's a few weeks ago. They cost more than most other winter tires, but they are meant for performance cars, and Michelin is a quality tire.

You didn't want the PA2's anyway, the new PA3's have some nice tread on them for various conditions. They are a huge improvement over the stockers, but then again almost anything is....lol.

I paid $234 + tax at CJ's Tire.

I got some Hankook Icebears for $125 a tire from discount tire (free shipping too) . Mounting and balancing was $80 at a local shop.

You can't go wrong with R/T tuning. I had some work done on my Mazda and they were very helpful. I just wish they would put a AWD dyno in.

Anytime there's ever a date set we're usually good for 10+ cars. But it was weird you guys did it during working hours. Does anyone work around here???
Hey I work from 7 to 4, and I though that was normal hours.

How about this, lets all meet this weekend. Does anybody have a day they like. Sat or Sun?

Those guys at JNZ are located in a pretty strange location. They were pretty hard to find. I dunno if you've been there before, but lemme know if you need directions.
