indeed. I have no idea how they figure the difference... but I was going to buy some headlights from someone on here (before he sold them to someone else after we had made a deal) and part of it was me printing a shipping label for them as he got a $60 estimate from Fedex and I was able to get $20 using the same measurements and weight.

Im sure dey also make junk tires like 150% of all junkook tires.

I think he currently has on the knockoff Yokohama's. I forgot the name. Kumho I think? He has blown 3 of the 4 in under 2 years from just normal usage. No nails or anything. Just randomly goes flat and can't be patched.

But let's scoff at me spending $450 on dedicated high performance all seasons or dedicated summers.

They came on my Cobalt and were abysmal during the winter. Had the "ultra" performance all-seasons. Switched to Nitto Invo's during the summer and Blizzaks for the winter. Never looked back.

Did you have the Kuhmo Ecsta ASX or whatever? I had them too, sidewall was way too soft. Same with the Continental DWS, which was the highest rated all season at one point, but they drove terrible in my opinion.

Kuhmo's summer tires aren't bad but they're noisy.

They may have been. I honestly don't remember. Swapped them out the moment summer came around. I remember the road noise was horrible and they didn't take bumps well.

On a happy note, the car comes out of storage tomorrow!!! Just got a call from my storage guy that he can finally move some cars around to get mine out!

DWS06 > DWS

Night and day difference. Not so much on the soft sidewalls they are still soft.
I much prefer driving on my S04's in da summer or RE11's.
