I have asked at tires stores (where the companies tell you to ask), but they say ask the companies, and everyone that I know that has tires sponsors have them.

Having a Les Schwab employee for a husband and always running Toyo's . . .. of course I am going to go with the Proxes which I run on my tC. And I used to have a set of the Toyo tire stands from when I was showing the neon . . . I might still have them. I'll have to take a look! And I didn't have a sponsorship, though I think having a Schwabie helped!

I have had some really good experiences with SOME Les Schwabs. Their service and warranty are good.

I bought my tires used and got my rears with over half tread for $150 ($325per each regular price) and the fronts for $50 installed 1/2 used ($275 each as per mail order)

They fix flats, rotate, etc-and theya re all over up here.

nexen n3000 was not good for me; it's too loud and not very comfortable. but the size i had was 215/35/18 .. i switched to kumho esta asx 225/40/18 and i feel more comfortable when driving.

Counting down..........Monday night I willbe ordering my rims and tires.........I am so torn between the Toyo and Neo Gen............both are right about the same price for the z rated and both have close to the same specs.........

OUt of the two.........which........in your opinion will be better in the rain.........never mind snow or ice............I will get some steelies and snow tires for that.........I want a summer tire with agressive tread and a decent life span of at least 16 months........

Well after talking with Lesschwab and discount tire today they are not gettign my money..........unfortunatly they are wanting $45 a tire more they would cost me online after shipping even...........and they cannot get them for up to a month if I pay today..........really bugs me when their online site says they have it in stock in my area and you go there and they have nothing........nothing at all in stock.........

So I am going to Evergreen Tire here in Tacoma...........they are going to match cost for my online pricing I found on Wheels,tires,and gave best mounting and balancing cost and will even take sensors out of my old tires install them in the new rims and put new stems in old wheels and get them balanced for us as well...........grand total $1510.14..........and they can get them installed by the 28th...........unless an act of God happens..........so this leaves me with $303 to work with..........what to buy.........what to buy.

I went with the Zrated Nitto Neo Gens............Konig Crosshairs 18x8.........the Toyos were back ordered and I did not want to wait for a month..........
