[DML] Tires

[sgskbm@xxxx]

Just bought the Yokohama tires yesterday. My car has 9,800 miles on it
and I took off the NCT's that were in excellant shape. I intend to
keep them so that in the future if I want to go back to stock I can do
so.

Observations after just a few miles:

1. They definately ride much better than the NCT's.

2. I had to have them balanced off the car as the tire dealer did not
have the type of equipment to balance them on the car.

3. They had to put the wheel weights on the inside of the tires.

4. There is a "new" shimmy in the front end in that stearing wheel
shakes so I guess that I have to get them re-balanced.

5. They were not expensive. $330 for the tires, $50 to have them
balanced and mounted and $37 to have the alignment done.

I did put the stock sizes on the car but I do wonder if I should have
used bigger sizes.
