things are as good as they can be. wagon is living but the tranny will soon be replaced along with a clutch/flywheel assemby. my diff makes a clunking at slow speed turns so i know it is just a matter of time. other then that life is pretty good, thanks for asking.

since we hijacked/derailed a few posts ago, how have you been?

Another vote for Toyo Proxes4. Excellent tire for the money and just got me back from Tahoe through the storm last night.

I had on falken ziex 912's until this morning.

i did recommend them to justin.

they are really great tires, my only complaint is they are a little noisy.

i have the contiextremes on right now. hard to break them loose on the wet road which is nice. nice comfy ride. a little softer than i expected but all in all i have to say its a great deal. plus like fendy said. you get a $75 Visa gift card when you buy a set of 4 between now and march 3rd

We had the Contiextremes on wifey's Mazda 6. The ride and performance is decent, but it only lasted ~42k miles. I am now considering the Michelin Exalto (AS) as well, but the Conti's price (plus $75 gift card) is very attractive.

For the Contis, we had slight camber wear (inside) for all 4 tires. Auto Innovation did the alignment when the Contis were new. So the wear might be due to the Contis being soft? No idea...

Heh heh it was on wifey's commuter car. Even the Michelin Exalto AS have a 45k mile warranty, so we expect a bit more for these AS tires.

On the other hand, the tires on my WRX do not have that life expectancy...
