He said the S-Drives and Advans that are currently on there are overpriced and not that much better than C-Drives. He likes the Michelin, but said they may be overkill for my car.

I had a brief look at Tire Rack the other day, but it raised a question... are you getting recently manufactured tires? ie. 2010/2011 or are some of them a few years old?
i just checked my Continentals and they were made in July 09. You get a 5 year warranty from the manufacturer anyway from the day of purchase with a receipt. Without it, it's from the made date.

Bad days or not there was no need to treat her the way they did in the end and be so rude and arrogant. If they done that to a bloke they would have probably got their face smashed in.

Kym, their email replies are slow. They didnt get back to my email for about 10-15days.
Best just to call them and speak to a rep. Quick and easy and will only cost ya a few dollars.

btw to dial US, i think its 0011 + 1 + area code + tel #

Rudy Ridel is usually quite prompt with his replies but since its coming into or is already summer there they may or may not have an influx of local enquiries to deal with.

Picked up my camera from Fedex depot they were pretty sus on the price put for a camera and said something about custom fee but let my camera go anyways...
