heh, just called another place. started with the "v" thing again, but gave an explanation..

he said that, while other tires may fit, since the car is made with that particular rating in the mix, there could be a difference in how things present. example: speedometer may say the car is going a certain speed, but it might really be going a different one. (I have no idea.)

he first tried to get me to go for a more expensive bridgestone that's in stock; but then, when I said I needed to do more research, he suddenly found a set of bridgestone's that are V and cheaper, and also have a rebate, *and* they can help save on gas. 60K warranty. and he put them on his wife's car. (that tactic is ancient, but effective. ;p)

there aren't as many reviews out there for them as others, but they seem good overall. I think I'm going to go with them, unless anyone's heard anything bad?

these. (www.bridgestonetire.com)

Yeah, make sure to get the right size tires or it will throw off your speedometer. - TWuG Apr 24, 11:55 1

Who are you talking to about the tires? I have found Discount Tire to be the most honest. So if you have one near you, you may want to call them. -- nm - sycor Apr 24, 11:53 1
- they were the first call, wheel works the second. (and I'm done. sorry. and thanks for the help.) -- nm - b. Apr 24, 11:59
can you read your car's manual? -- nm - TFox Apr 24, 11:53 1
- I can, but it's way out in my car. (I actually looked to see if I could find it online and plan to check when I'm out there later.) -- nm - b. Apr 24, 11:57
I never had problems with them. - Iron Spawn Apr 24, 11:52
