thanks!
If you are pleased with them then stay with them (do i sound like a DT advocate? Lol). If you find lower prices print it out and then have them match it. Sometimes you come out ahead of the deal with their additional rebates on top of the cost of the tires. Also, if there are a few locations near you, get a price from each one. Depending on the location sometimes the prices vary from area to area, go figure.

You don't need to remove the C pillar covers...completely unnecessary step.

You're right about the rest...very easy, overall, and only requires simple tools.

Just make sure when working on the front to have both sides off the ground or else you will find yourself getting angry. Ask me how I know this.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I've never thought about ebay, and If I find a better number, I'll see if DT can match.

That is a terrible excuse. Nothing ships on Saturday anyways so you could always just finish it Saturday night or Sunday and get it shipped out at 8am on Monday.

I always go to the post office on saturdays right at 2:45pm before they close at 3. I should be able to get it done tonight and ship it tomorrow morning. BK said he can make it out later in the afternoon with his NSX.

The only reason you did was because when you got in your car you had no idea snow was in the forecast. I did because I looked at the doppler around 4am and realized it was on the way.

Besides, the TL is not mobile and the lexus didn't belong at an acura meet.

Depends on what type of things you are looking for really first and then also budget. Also then depends on where you would be working so commute can be factored in. Basically we need some more details.

By good do you mean neighborhoods where you don't walk out to your car with pepper spray in one hand and brass knuckles in your other 'just in case'? Or do you just want to avoid the druggie areas? LOL
