Okay, I called Dunlop, and they sent me to Discount Tire to have them check them out, and obviously they felt there was an issue with the tires because they gave me full credit to purchase two new tires, of my choice, so problem solved for now.....

Pothole replacement.

Neal,

I have a fairly new set of Kumho Ecsta SPT's on my coupe. 225 40 19 on the front left know has a nice goose egg in the sidewall from a pothole. I waiting on confirmation if my new chrome Ray's wheel is bent. What is the best price shipped on that tire? I just need one.

Thanks!

Since we do not carry Volk I unfortunately do not have any rings for them.

Neal, i was going to go with Conti DWS because i thought it was a symetrical tire and i could rotate side to side but now that i realize i cant im torn between the Conti & the Yokohama AVID ENVigor. i know the Yoko is about $62 cheaper for the set so im just wondering if im loosing anything in dry/wet traction.
I live in South Florida so i dont need snow traction but im tired of the every 20K (yearly for me) changing of tires so i want a high treadware and i will dismount/remount every 10k....

should i just save me the $62 and get the Yoko's and use that money for the dis/remount in 6 months.??

thanks!!

whats ur price on both shipped to 33032?
225/40/19 & 245/40/19

Honestly the Yoko will do a bit better dry than the Conit. The DWS choppy tread design works well in snow but lacks a bit in dry. The Yoko isn't a bad tire for life but the Conti will squeeze a tad more due to easier rotation. Depends on what you want to sacrifice more of.

Yoko's shipped $823.42
Conti's shipped $883.47

Hey Neal,

I'm interested in the Enkei Lussos and I noticed online they also are available in silver. Will Tirerack be carrying them in silver anytime soon?

Thanks

Not that I see in the near future. Think we're seeing how this one will take off for us before we add more colors to the line-up.
