When I asked I was told they are not directional. They are Asymmetric and should be cross rotated. In fact I had it cross rotated at the dealership. I would hope they are not that retarded.

 

I have the same tires as you as cross rotate them every 5k miles, they're not directional.

 

If you consider a few hundred miles "near"

 

in the desert... that's probably the next town. Besides, at a 100+ mph commute, it is 'near'

 

I hope your going to buy one of the hundreds on sale at e-bay and other places and not pay full retail.......

Just my thoughts...

 

With all the $$$ you're saving paying $0.70 a gallon on gas, just buy 4 new tires and put the old ones in the garage as spares.

 

Well near enough. Most people aren't too well versed on the geography of this part of the world. Dubai is a 550 mile drive from Kuwait. It takes around 8 hrs with all the border stops (1 in Kuwait, 2 in Saudi, and 1 in UAE). Driving through the eastern Saudi desert is scary to say the least. Roads are nice and well kept, but plenty of wild camels dart across. You don't wanna hit a camel. Its like hitting a reinforced brick wall.

 

Yah I wish I could do that. To ship an item that heavy to Kuwait will cost several times the price of the tire. I'm at the mercy of the sole local Perilli dealer.

Well I bought the 1 tire last night. I bargained the dude down to 72 Dinars ($250). Its so **** expensive! This price included balancing and installation.

 

Why not just go steal a set??! It was ok to steal tunes, DVD's, and software so why not this??!

And remember someone posted about karmha will get you Zaghloul in the "using someone elses tune" thread??! Well maybe now you will believe....

 

maybe he lives in California where the onramps require you to accelerate to at least 100 without being killed? (on days where there is no traffic)

or he lives in Germany?

 

If it was me, at only 8k miles, I'd most likely replace just one. If your tire salesman is reputable (I go to Goodyear), ask them. If the treads not to far different, one will make no difference. My moms minivan (nasty, I know) had a blowout after about 24k miles, and we got away with just replacing one of the tires. There's no exact science to it, you just have to look at your particular situation.

 

Geez man, let it go. You're entitled to your own stupid opinion. And I'm entitled to my own stupid reasoning. If you really care to know, I think that anything of physical value is not ok to “steal”. However information, knowledge, and any non-tangible reproduction or copy including but not limited to software, music, video of all kinds, pictures, e-books, etc… are ok to copy and reproduce so long as you are not making profit yourself doing this. This is what I deeply believe. I understand you have a different opinion. Frankly I don’t care, nor am I trying to get you to change it.

 

I say go with 2 and always keep the new pair on the drive wheels.
