I'm in the same boat. If you want I'm probably gonna order some wipers from tire rack. I've run them for a year and I love them.. Valeo. They're usually buy one get one free but right now I think they're on sale for $15 a piece. They RIP. Think I've actually had mine for 2 years now that I think about it.



Can you shoot me a quote out the door (mounted) for 912 in 225/45/17 or 235/40/17. I'm thinking about buying some ASX's off sybir but if I can go new I might do that too. My tires are good but I have some kind of leak I can't figure out.

Also some truck tires. Similar to the BFG all terrain in I think 235/75/15

My brother might have me bring his truck out there on Sunday.

Yeah it's along drive and starts at 7. So if I don't have class after work I just make lunch and pass out. Weekends I catch up on life haha. Haven't mobbed my car in days, maybe do some drifting in the rain.

Justin - the bosch were great the first day but after a week or two of constant use id get major pressure points and streaks...they are really good at clearing heavy rain, but light rain it streaks like crazy

Ray - I'm not at work til tuesday so can't get you a quote until then...my co workers won't give the same price

Iirc the 912s 225/45 were 80 pop + 8.5% tax, 16 m+b, ca tire tax is 1.75 per tire...too lazy to do the math haha

We don't get much business besides contracts we have with the city/county of sf and random plumbing/contruction trucks so I only work tues/thurs so I can only hook it up those two days

I know for a fact we get truck tires pretty cheap cuz most of the work we do is trucks/vans

That's a lot of work then you have to start all over again...

I still have my OEM windshield wipers, but I rarely use them lol. I usually let the water bead off the windshield.
