More car upgrades! Dunlop Winter Sport M3's all around.
Tires Plus said $165 per tire, plus $55 per wheel. Didn't get as far as mentioning the cost of mounting and balancing since they can't get 'em til sometime in January anyway.
Tirerack.com said $105 per tire, plus $50 per wheel, with free mounting and balancing. $30 for hubcaps, $80-ish for shipping. $730 total. That's $150 cheaper than Tires Plus before they even add tax, labor, etc.
I ordered them from Tirerack on Monday (12/20) and got them on Wednesday. Installed 'em on Thursday before my X-Mas road-trip. Didn't need them for the trip but I was happy that I had them just in case the roads got dicey. Since the car still has less than 6,000 miles on it I'd prefer to avoid any extraneous sliding (into things).
Tomorrow, perhaps, I'll post about "The Taco Bell Incident." Wherein we learn that Taco Bell hates my car, and what you should do if you happen to be hit by their building.
