$40 mail in rebate (which I'm sure takes like 2 months to receive)

When I did submitted the Bridgestone $100 rebate it only took a few weeks to arrive.

These?

Tire Details - Discount Tire Direct

Came to $467.00 at $120 a tire with some $25 web savings. I was kinda hoping to spend closer to $400. Unless I have the wrong ones?

How about these buggers?

Came to $399.00 total shipped, exactly my budget. Yokohoma

As stated a while back on Facebook, I needed to install new wheels/tires/spacers/extended studs/nuts which I have done.
I also needed to install a new master cylinder and braided brake lines, which I have done.

The last thing to do is to install the new A/C compressor and dryer so we will be comfortable on the trip.

Need to install the NX AC system before I'm gonna drive this thing across country in the middle June! Also, radiator has an invisible crack in the plastic endtank...so gotta replace that and the t-stat and flush. Maybe some new wiper blades.

These are the second gen: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Dunlop&tireModel=Direzza+ZII
I don't think you'll find the first gen for sale anymore. They dropped the "Star Spec" from the name when they went to the 2nd generation.
