for some reason that seems a little steep to me...please tell me I'm wrong. Are you getting a discount on the tires?? I work for Sears and could get 14in Azenis installed for 205 after tax. Tell me I'm wrong

If those are potenza s-03s the price might not be that far off.

The Potenza S-03's are kind of expensive. They are a good tire. A friend of mine and her boyfriend had them on their Civic Si's and loved them. Expensive but a good choice.

$420 installed for the best rated tire on the market right now?? i dont think thats steep at all.. azenis are good tires but most that ive come across are not Z rated and arent rated as well either.. im also getting a road hazard warranty where if the i get a nail or blow a tire for some reason, or chamber wear i get a BRAND new FREE of charge cause its a z rated tire and your not supposed to ever patch a z rated tire and expect it to be safe for high speeds..

that's dope then. I hate sidewall punctures

Yeah, most Azenis are just H rated. Good buy.

Hope you like the S-03s, I have them on a set of Advan RGs I just bought but haven't gotten to drive on yet cause I'm still rocking the Michelin snow tires on stock Si alloys which I tested out last night in the snow. Damn winter weather.

lol, I hope to test them out this weekend. I used to have Brigdesonte V-Grids. I hope the S-03's perform better.
