Ari...And I suppose you'd have done a lot better after only hearing the word once, whether the mechanic pronounced it correctly or not (which he did not, nor could he spell it for me)? Maybe if I add an additional 500 K or so of useless junk to my sig. it will help? ;-] (What? Me defensive, nooo!) At any rate - now that we all know how to spell the name of the tires, does anyone have any experience, personal or otherwise, with this brand of tires. I can get them locally from TC Tire, out the door, for a total price of $387.48. This includes mounting, balancing, free rotation, etc. Thanks, Derek
