Look what just came in...

Well it was def for some new tires...The RSAs were shot and needed to be replaced so I did my research and heard nothing but the good things about the Nitto Motivos.They are all season tires and have a tread life of 60000 miles.The RSAs made alot of noise and these are supposed to be super quiet.It was either these or the DWS.They were a little pricey($700),but will see if it was worth the money.Getting them installed Tomm and road force balance and 4 wheel alignment...Looking forward to getting it done an will keep u guys updated...

What are they charging for the road force balance ? I took my car to Discount Tire a year or so ago and asked for the road force and the guy told me they do a regular spin balance on the Hunter Machine and nobody there even knows how to do the road force

I'm getting a hook up..I own a tire shop and my wholesales just got a hunter road force balance machine.That thing is so advanced and awesome..All together I'm gonna pay about $120 with mount,balance and 4 wheel alignment.The only thing is that I hear a slight humming noise around 30-60 miles coming from the front and hoping its the tires and not the wheel barrings.If it is I'm prob gonna end up spending about $550 for everything

Well I'm at 33k but when I got the car the 2 back ones were like 90% tread so its obvious they weren't rotated.Just decided to change all 4 and start off fresh!

Only 33k? Yikes! Are you a super aggressive driver?

My 2009 got roughly 70k from the original RSAs before I swapped for a set of DWS, and they were not nearly as worn as those. I could have gone another 8k or so but winter was coming.

Well when I purchased the car it was obvious they never rotated so that was straight 33k with no rotation.
