Followed same day by the installation of (4) 255/55R18 Michelin X-Ice XI2 & (4) Touren TR3 18" rims. Just in time for a foot of snow |
I feel your pain Bro 4. I installed 4 new tires $400+. I had to replace all of the electronics as a result of a leak that flooded the spare tire compartment.. At the same time they did all the bushings and suspension, replaced all the belts. total bill was $6000+-.
Is it worth it? to me it is. I'm driving a $60000 car for $6000 bucks. 2002 141,000 miles. Maintained by me and I know what I have. I'm happy and the car runs like brand new. I intend to get another 10 years out of it. Drove it 600 miles yesterday and it puts a smile on my face every time I hit the gas. For an SUV it's one heck of car.
