dang - that is quite a problem. You should go back to the dealer and see if they can fix it by getting you in a second tl.

The only problem with the theory is that I have a company pickup truck
Maybe when I'm due a new vehicle at 100,000 miles they'll let me get one

I went with the 17" because I wanted to keep the ride quality for her and was afraid the 18's would be too harsh. Hindsight I should have went 18". I wanted the superllegera’s but the Tire rack sold out before I could make up my mind. What I don’t like about them is they are harder to clean then say a 5 spoke.
