Tire Replacement=Pro-Rated

My mom called the acura dealer and talked to the guy that she bought her TL from...He said i should go to the local honda dealership and get my new tires at a prorated price....that would make me sooooo happy...He said that they should be covered under the 3yr/36,ooo Mile Warranty! ME SO HAPPY! And installation would probably be free, i think! Not like installation costs that much, but still, more money left in the bank!

Pro-rated, hahaha, that also means you'll prolly get around a 5% discount on the tires, lol. It sounds good, but they'll put Firestones back on it, charge you more for them than a better tire costs (but 'less' than their normal price), and you drive away happy thinkin it was a deal and they make money. Go to tirerack.com and find some real tires at some real prices. Peace

No, I'm not going to accept the Firestones...I'm getting myself some Yokohama Avids or Bridgestone Potenza RE950...I don't know how much I'll get if anything...and it isn't normal wear...I rotated the tires at 10k and my fron tires were excessively worn...not due to spinning the tires, so yeah...I'm gonna try to see if they'll check the shocks too, cuz they're feelin off...
