Just sent the defective one out on Thursday. They promised to have it back in about ten days.


Bilstein was great to work with! Tire Rack on the other hand...

depending on how much crap is behind the car (snowblower, shovels, etc...) I may pull the car out ... I want to check something with the car anyway so today looks like a pretty good day for that.

Can't tell if you are making fun of me for an earlier comment or not I just don't like my tires thumping from them sitting in one spot for too long, that's all.

Oh, no... definitely not making fun of you. (Your other comment didn't even register with me ).

When it was warm out back in early January I took my car out for a drive after it had been sitting for 3 weeks and it felt like a roller coaster with all the bumps. So, I definitely needed to take the car out and get some miles on it to see if the tires could be drove back into round.

And I'm happy to report that they did and all is well.

And I miss driving my car

My Goodyears use to get flat spots. Nothing like a little drive to get rid of them.

Ah I gotcha, good deal I know what you mean by the roller coaster, lol. It's pretty annoying until they heat up and the vibrations go away! Hopefully they will be out of the garage soon though! My wife and I hope to meet you all when we have a get together!
