Some guy came by the very next day and bought all four for more than I paid for the new rubber. Go figure.

Yes there is, if I remember correctly from my long ago college courses. You use LIFO or FIFO, along with double declining balance or sum of years' digits.

Did it, got them, it was about a $400 upcharge, which I thought was well worth it. I have had Pilot A/S's on many former Acura's and they've always been great.

It looks great! And saves the hassle of selling the take-off tires yourself.

I'm pretty frugal but those look awesome and I would also fork out $400 without hesitation for that setup. Well done.

The Porsche Cayenne has the same Continental tires as the RDX has on several models.

The Continental tires that are standard on some of the RDX models are pretty good tires. It is the Goodyear tires that come with the A-Spec models that are crap. I would happily pay $400 to upgrade from the Goodyear's to Michelin Pilots

Same model but not the identical tire. The Porsche designation (NO) has an XL load rating and higher speed rating. The tread pattern is the same, however, as is the treadwear rating.
