    Look at all of that sawtooth siping! And, those massive circumferential grooves!

    Those look like fine winter tires. The Subie will be unstoppable!

    Only reason I asked was the tires I ordered a month ago are still a month out. Glad I ordered when I did, just impatient.

    Hey, I only lost 2 screws that I'm aware of so far. :D

    I was pretty tempted to do this earlier. :annoyed:

    This one was free. So far It's cost me about a day's worth of screwing around and I think it needs a drain pump (only $22).

    It was giving an OL (overload) signal and shutting itself off. The air hose for the load/water level sensor was plugged with a spiderweb. And, even though the drain pump seems fine physically, and is definitely not clogged, it seems to be draining in spurts.

    Yes sir, the options in Rhinelander are be rude and beat the shit out of your wheels, or sit on a couch with grime in every direction and smoke in the air.... and beat the shit out of your wheels and put different sidewalls out. For that reason I go to Wausau :D

    I would gladly drive a few extra miles for better service as well! I have dealt with the cheapest guys in town, and the SUCK! :)

    Edit: we had tires installed at MR. P's shitty tire, and they broke 2 center caps on my ex's TC. Their response to that was basically "whoops, that happens sometimes" and they suggested that we glue them back in. o_O

    So, I guess my point is, DON'T EVER USE MR P'S TIRE IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR VEHICLE. :)

    Can confirm the cheapest in town was one of my strangest and most uncomfortable consumer experiences I've ever had. Another reason I drive to Wausau is I want my tires road force balanced and they are the closest that does that.
