    Not sure how the rear cat would be bad if the front is fine though.. sounds like BS .. have her smack it with a rubber mallet and see if she hears stuff rattling around.

    ^ this

    I have run Bridgestone Turanza and Potenza before I got the Yokohama yk580's on my wife's is250. I am on my second set of yk580's...got 30k out of the last rears (wheels are offset so no rotating) and I think I got everything out of them. The Bridgestones were 15-20K but def stuck better(summer tires) but f'n pricey when you are only getting that kinda miles outta them.

    I know I wont get actual 60k+ but they are rated for that with warranty from discount.

    if they wear too soon they give a credit towards another tire.

    Had to go through that bullshit with my BFG AT KOs that were a 50k warranty tire. I got 20k tops.

    My current tires are a Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac with 10k and look close to new still

    yeah i was pretty pissed when at 20k they were below the /32 line of being a safe tire.

    I shelled out money 1 by 1 as they went bald, thats why I had so many spares.

    when I got the BFG MT KM2's they got nearly 40k no prob and my dad is using them.

    Rotated every 3-4k and always had proper alignment. I was 90% freeway when I had the All Terrains for work with a 30+ minute commute.

    Yah always good to have a higher mileage warranty and get them to prorate on the next set. I was pretty disappointed with the mileage on the Bridgestones but kinda hard to not get on the skinny pedal and rail the car in the corners.

    As far as the duratracs go, I am at around 40k and still have a ways to go. Have been really great all around tires so far.

    Yeah, it looks weird, but it needs non-gloss.
    Not much, gonna drain and refill my cousins trans tomorrow, and depending on how tough it is i'm gonna do mine instead of the shop, and we're waiting for friday to roll around, my cousin is getting a new HU on friday (supposed to be delivered then) so we're gonna install his sub in the next few days and hook everything up friday.

    I kinda like it, but i've posted in the photoshop thread to see what it would look like all black.
    Thanks, i taped it to what i thought was even, and what would look good.
