Well just placed order with discount Tire and they matched all prices from their website which had additional discount this weekend (10% off) . 4 tires with certificates for 890 installed then get 70$ rebate from general. Also going to order a 20 inch rim and install one of front tires to keep at home as spare just incase. Theres another thread on same tires and alot of them love these tires. Cant wait to get them on, Monday if early, tuesday if they call me late. Updates to follow

Well new tires installed yesterday and wow its nice not to slide around anymore lol. I got to say those eagles were crap,totally falling apart at 18k miles, actually had some cord showing on my rears ( on the inside part your cant see )
1st impressions of the tires and they are alright. I hope they get better when they break in cause sometimes i feel like they hesitate when i put peddle down. They had to replace the sensors and stuff when they pealed the old tires off so hopefully they didnt mess anything up, but i have warranties for wear and damage ( thru Direct TIre) 2nd, I bought a 20x8.5 inch rim from ebay ( vision cross ) and will be gettin a used tire to put on it to keep in garage. Just insurance incase i get a flat, i can be towed home, replace tire with something that fits both front and back and then drive to DT ( 15 min away) safely and not damage car driving on a donut not made for our car. Rim was 62$ and used tire should be like 50-70 depending on tread or size, so much cheaper then the 200$ a junk yard wanted or 300 they want for the spare on internet , will keep you updated in few weeks of driving but atleast theres not much road sound

You'll enjoy the new tires! After break-in they definitely get better.

So 2 weeks in on new tires and not sure how i am liking them. Sometimes they seem pretty smooth but sadly the roads in South Florida are terrible, they also have those reflectors off the lines that they are supposed to help light up. Im wondering what you guys keep your tire pressure at and if you got a alignment after replacing all tires. i have @19k miles , let me know, thanks
