My two cents.
Always bought Michelin for my cars, but this time I tried a set of Toyo Versado CUV's. Nice smooth, stable ride. Ok with passing on the "Michelin punch" this time around.;)

Very clean. Did you do this yourself or have a shop do the work?

If it was a shop please share the shop info. I live in South O.C. too.

I have only seen the stickers on out of state cars. I live in California and now the only stickers I see regularly are Carmax stickers.

Is it more common in the Midwest and East?

Looks pretty good and a lot easier.
