So, obviously they're way better than the old tires. I need to find a place where it's a little more polished...see if it brakes better. Almost slid past my parents driveway yesterday, should have gone back there after work.
It's SOOOO nice to drive a car with round tires...that take to balancing well...that are round...that alone makes me smile.
Fack are these things noisy on wet cement!
If you took a nice flat piece of steel, spun it on a clay wheel, and held a piece of steel rod on it like a record player...yup, that'd probably be about as loud and as much as it sounds like. Fine on the dry, facking noisy in the wet.
What else...my remote start didn't work. WTF? Worked at lunch. Went back before I went home, seems someone put it in valet mode. Funny guys (?) or what. "Sometimes they lose connectivity" Wow, first time in...200,000 km...OK. But he had it going in 30 seconds so it's all good. Guessing one of the kids pushed the buttons in a funny order, intentionally or otherwise.
Two tires are on wrong - i.e. apparently they are directional and two face backwards. Good thing is they're on opposite sides of the car so I guess I'm swapping those two around.
Two have the mfg date on them...two don't. Maybe that's on the inside?? 1119 so yay! Not old stock.
