Default stealership trying to screw me?

Hello all,

I kinda wanna get some input from you all about what the dealership is trying to do. I bought my s2k about 3 weeks ago as a honda certified used car. And i have been noticing that my rear end slides out from under me way to easily so i took it to the tire shop and they sid the rear tires only have 2/32 of tread left. in order for it to be a honda cert vehilce the tires must have 5/32 of tread left so i took it to the dealership and they are going to give me 2 new s-02's. But then they called me and asked if i would rather have 4 new toyo proxes frz (or something ) istead of the s02's i know that the toyo's are v rated and not w rated and they dont seem to be of the same quality as the bridgstones. I told them i dont want the toyo's unless they are the ts-1's as they are the same type of tire (high performance )

what do you all think?

Get the S02's and make damn sure they are the OEM tires or they will be the wrong size (to narrow).

You want the OEM S02 with the JZ designation.

"Stealership"?
......"they are going to give me 2 new s-02's."


Cut me a break. In addition to the dealer offering two new S02s, they also gave you a OPTION of FOUR new tires. And for this they get bad-mouthed???

They sold him the car with 2/32 " tread on the tires, and tried to get away with it. He had to return and complain for them to do right by him. Now they're trying to cut corners by offering him cheaper tires. Not exactly stealing... but they should have prepared the car properly before selling it.

Why is he supposed to be grateful because they are doing what they should have done automatically in the first place?
