Dunlop 40 Series Gone, Kumho 45 series ON!!
 
Well Hey There,

For Sale: Dunlop FM901 215/49-17(4), they didn't look too bad on the car.

For Abuse: Kumho MX 225/45-17(4), these look HUGE!


First of all, thanks to Khail for getting me a wicked deal on the tires! So I went to a Firestone shop and had them mounted and balanced today. I also went ahead and bought the lifetime alignment deal, get my baby allgined however much I want for as long as I own the car for 145.00 not too bad a deal, eh? I changed my tires and got an alignment YEAH! Well my front left was already out of spec, but not too bad, and everythig else was normal. No pictures. You can see them on Thursday!

So now I can fuck with my alignment for auto-X and go get it fixed for free!

Them: "Uh Sir, your toe was out like an inch too far, did you hit something"

Me:"Nah, must be a fluke, NOW go fix my alignment!"*points at car*

:lol::lol:

I'm gonna have to go get that deal too... assuming they'll do alignments out of spec... I want to show up: "Yeah, I need -3.5 degrees of camber in the front." "But -1 is the max in the book." "Just do it or you can pay for new race tires when the shoulders are worn to hell."

Muahahhaha.

The Firestone I used to go to in the south bay would do whatever specs I told them, you just gotta make sure to tell them every single number you want before they start. I stood around in the bay and watched them do it just to make sure... the techs doing it oohed-and ahhhed over the car when they actually got to see something interesting like caster/camber plates, brake ducting, etc.. instead of another soccer mom's SUV. :lol:

And there's really no limit to the number of alignments? It's not like 4 a year max or something in the fine print?
