    FYI, called Discount and they are matching the TireRack pricing. Basically what they've done for me in the past.

    Got them yesterday. Paid $528 + $10 shipping per tire. Of course had to pay for mounting/balancing, disposal for one tire (kept 3 of the old ones....the one I left had been patched), and tax. Caught off guard by the final price becuase for some reason I just didnt' add it all up in my head right. Oh well...got some very nice new tires. We'll be going to Eagle's Canyon soon.

    Same size, different profile.

    When I first saw the tires, I thought I had the wrong size, had to double check. Before I had the Falken Azenis (RT-615 I think). These Dunlops have a noticibly higher profile. I don't even scrape the speed bumps in the parking garage as easily. But despite the slightly higher profile, they seem to be very stiff. Response in turning is very tight.

    Next up....alignment.
