My Z is on crutches!

Haha...technically! I was hoping to get one more month out of the OEM tires but a nail decided to change my plan. Tire was so bald that they wouldn't patch

Haha...technically! I was hoping to get one more month out of the OEM tires but a nail decided to change my plan. Tire was so bald that they wouldn't patch it up. I have Continental ExtremeContact DW on order. New tires should get here by tomorrow but until then, a spare will have to do. It looks so funny from the back!

It's all the rain we've had lately. The car will be washed this weekend but we are expecting another round of rain this Sunday and Monday.

Forgot to update but a couple of hours after my initial post, I got the call saying that the tires had arrived. Have them installed now and they are amazing. So much better than the stock tires.

Post up some pics of the new tires! And more driving impressions! And price paid, if you don't mind.

Will post pics soon. Total price out the door was $1,035 including warranty. I ended up getting the warranty 'cause it just makes sense to get it for tires.
