Yeah, but I got 255/19/35 fronts and 295/19/30 rears... it sucks lol

I agree, I didn't want to have to buy a set, but when they called me back to see the right rear which had the steel braiding showing through... yeeeeeah, it was time for a new set... wallet be damned.

I made the mistake of listening to a friend and getting Advan all-seasons when my rear tires were finished and now that my front factory wheels are dead after 16k miles, I'm replacing the full set. NEVER listening to that friend for car advice again

If that friend is not a member here then I'd totally agree...

If he is... Banned!

Nothing wrong with all seasons if your crunched for cash, and understand you can't push as far as with ultra performance summers.

Me personally, I don't like having 2 different tire combo's or 2 different mileage worn tires... I replace all 4 even if only 1 is bad. But that's just me.

hahaha he's not but I made sure to give him a piece of my mind when I drove my car and suddenly the back was breaking out like nobodies business around corner lol

and ya at that time I just REALLY needed new rear tires because I had spun out on the freeway in the rain going well under the limit and got within inches of the center divider due to my tires being worn down (completely my fault for not replacing them sooner ). and I just can't wait to get these tires as soon as possible so I can enjoy experiencing everything the reviews are saying about these tires instead of just reading them =D

I'll put it this way I have tried everything aside from rubbing lard all over them to get them to break free. Going 80 into a 90* turn, didn't budge, driving over gravel, stayed true... Hell the only thing that really defeats them is either a standing start, or VDC off start.

I have video's of each too. They do leave behind a great streak though.

Invos are OK if you are on a budget. Won't be anything like the PSS but I know a number of people that like them.

The tires alone were $1384. I checked Tire Rack and by the time you add $60 to ship 4 tires to whatever shop is going to install them you are going to be at $1313. I don't begrudge a moderate profit to the shop and they did an excellent job, didn't scratch the rims, inflated them to the correct pressure, and hand torqued the lug nuts to 80 ft. lbs as is correct. I don't know how one poster came up with an $855 cost but I'll bet he won't be able to actually buy a set at that price.
Just ordered my tires got them for $1650 at Discount tire... Just hoping they dont scratch the wheels when mounting.. also should I request the lugs be hand torqued ?
