LVP is on a distinguished road
The summer tires the X came were shot. PO had left suspension to die. I picked up a used set off kijiji for $320 a while back. Before I put new tires on, I want to make sure all is good with suspension and alignment. At the tire shop this morning and discovered that non-RFTs were coming off and the used ones were the RFTs. They are the Bridgestone Duellers. On the plus side, they have a meatier sidewall, so they look the part. On the negative side, this is my wife's daily driver and there is no TPMS on this X. Guess I'll be checking pressures a lot. I do recall seeing valve caps that colour based on tire pressure so you can visually see if pressure has dropped. I just can't bring myself to do that to the X though.

New winter rubber goes on the winter rims this season and new summer rubber will go on next year. Non-RFT though.
