With only 19,000 miles on my car and the tires really bald, I slide all over the road, so after going back and worth with a local tire shop and Mr.Tire, who will Price Match 200% if found lower, I am getting the Michelin Primacy MXV4. They have a really good all-seaon rating and should last a long time..... I Hope. Plus, I have a 20% off coupon on an alignment which I never got done when I lowered my car. Can't wait to feel the difference in the rain. Just thought I would share.

new tires are the best, nothing compares to the difference you feel. i had no idea how much of a difference tires can make, after i changed from the stock tires to potenza's i was blown away. glad to hear you're getting new rubbers

Tires are great, really quiet and smooth. No more problems in the rain. My question is, I knew the alignment would be out because of the springs and the guy said that actually the front was pretty good it was the back that was adjusted out as far as it would go and you can still tell that the top of the tires are "in". He said to just rotate the tires "religiously". Is there no rear camber kit or correction for this?

I dont think there is a camber kit, but ive heard the eibachs are not low enough to cause problems with camber. My 19s look like they have 1-2 degrees of neg. camber on the rear wheels and a little less on the front.

I think im going to rotate every 3k miles when I do my oil since i'm on low pros now. They actually have a better treadwear rating than my stock tires which was surprising to me.

turanza- 260

Hankook-280
