Thanks Daniel. I'm much more mobil now than I was. I haven't driven in a couple of weeks, but that changes on Thursday when I go back to the office and to a post-op appointment.

My back pain from before the surgery is pretty much gone. Now I just need to heal up from the procedure and take it easy for several weeks...

qwll just fyi for you guys that DD ur car. BJ already knows how fast the 615 wear out. Look for a tire that has 200 or more treadwear. obviously if you buy a tire for 100 bucks a piece that is still a good tire with a 150treadwear you are going to spend more money in the long run cause a tire with like a 150-180 treadwear is going to last only 10-20k at most

Decent, but not stunning, dry grip and GREAT in the wet. I got 11K out of my stock Advans...I've gotten 19K and counting from the S-Drives...

I paid $125 per tire...
What kind of radial pull issue are you having?? I was looking into the s-drives but don't want to deal with radial pull sh*t...

If you DD your car I wouldn't go for a tire with a treadwear rating of any less then 280-300, or that sh*t will wear out too quick...There are at least a hand full of pretty good tires with 300 treadwear rating & are decently priced too...Yeah the rt615s are a 200 treadwear & they are about done & I only have 15k on them I think...

My car pulls hard to the right, and it's done it ever since I got the S-drives...I've had two alignments done courtesy of Jim at PC and the spec is spot on. I just didn't know it was radial pull until I had too many miles on the tires...Tire Rack would've replaced them if I'd have known what it was right away...

It's just my set though...many people run the s-drives (Daniel) and have NO issues...
