True Detective was amazing...
Justin, some no names, but the supporting detective is the new robocop and I've seen her elsewhere since I started watching that too.
Orange is the new black on Netflix is great too...funny although I don't like Jason Biggs. Dumb pie dufus.

cleaning out some cabinets, I came across my elementary year book.
a quick glance through it, provided this gem:
Roses are red, your socks are black. I'm the first one to sign your book crack.

No experience but c'mon...it's Michelin, you can't go wrong.
a little wet, a little dry, a little tread ware, a little 100 mph safe...that's all we want.

Just overall good quality lol
I have a set of winter tires so they'll only be used for spring/summer
And yeah I figured Michelin was a good choice, and got a huge discount too lol

Fk yes bro...when it comes to tires, short of nexen/sunny/primewell...I'm not brand loyal. I'm right down the middle and pay for whatever gets decent discounts at the time...I got my continental dw for $95/tire for my 19's once...that was killer...I think my kumho ecsta 4x were $135 per tire after a little "asking nicely" haggling.
One thing I always do is buy from discount tire direct.com...customer service is top notch, free shipping...once had cupping due to cheap camber kit...called them, they called it "manuf defect" 5 fkn months in...they had already shipped to me free, then paid to have them shipped BACK to them...then I tried going slightly wider on a different tire that wouldn't clear my fenders with the replacement tire they sent...they paid for shipping to me and BACK again until I got the right tire.
Incredible...that experience made a customer for life...tire rack will show cheaper prices, but you pay for shipping, and they treat you like a melting dicckk.
Then, the standard $100 bucks to the Acura of Pembroke Pines by the guy that's super anal retentive on calibrating his balance machine weekly and knows how to stretch tire. Simple process with repeatable great results for me.

Lol no this purchase is going to be easy on my wallet actually.
My brother works at a dealership and is getting them @ $195/tire CAD family discount. And I don't have to worry about shipping which is huge. Ordering from the states would kill me in duty, and even if I drove to buffalo, there's the gas expense to take into consideration too.
Checked with Costco prior... $329/tire CAD haha so I'm saving a huge amount

remember that 4G link i posted about the poster "thegoodlife"
he bought a 4G and is trying to get vossen rims but wants to stretch it with some no name brand tires.
i'm like wtfm8.

It's the stretch, not the name brand. I'm extreme as I'm comfortable with.
Story, know how I know you're Canaduz!?!? Because you say Duty. In the OOHSAH (pronounced USA) "duty" is sh*t.

Remember, in Canada, "Free" healthcare and weed. So they make up for it by paying triple for everything we get cheap in Murika.

there is only a thread with reviews and experiences
https://acurazine.com/forums/4g-tl-tires-wheels-suspension-298/michelin-pilot-sport-s-3-opinions-891376/
I got a good deal on the Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS which am running on the stock rims...I have about 10K miles on that and I love them...ran them in the winter and the snow/wet/dry grip are awesome...they are quite (well atleast they feel that way after running fuzion hri tires for 45-50K miles)
either way, if I had to do it again, maybe I will just stick to the continental DWS for all season and Michellin Pilot sport cup for summer or if on a budget Continental DW for the summer....all these tires (DW/DWS/PS) are very light weight as well....so thats an advantage too
