so i went to fastech and i put BFGoodrich 215/45/17 and 255/45/17 i think i am gonna check for sure tomorrow morning and so far i drove around edmonton from west to south Ed. and they seemed to be pretty good so far but i am gonna test them better when i go to Grande Cache the whole deal + installation cost me 1200 for 4 tires and tomorrow morning at 8 i have an appointment for alinement and balance thats gonna cost me 440 dollars cause its gonna be on full body test, i will tell you more details tomorrow after i get my car back

just took my car in today and i asked them about the price and the difference of their balance from the balance the tire store does...the guy told me that in sports car and especially on the S2000 they dont do the regular balance but the premium and that is if i wont do the balance from the tire store... they though i didnt do balance at the tire shop but once i told them i did they says then you only need premium alinement and its gonna cost me 125 bucks and when in 2 years or something if it will start trembling then i can come back make a premium balance and be cool for long time again ;P

and did you ask what the difference was between a regular and "premium" balance/allignment? sounds kinda fishy

Ha ha did they at least kiss you first?

Papous

lots of kisses hahaha...i leave in grande cache and the last thing i wanted is for my car to tremble o the highway when i reach 130km so i paid the 120 bucks and i have my head clear cause on my way here 3 days before i was like on massage chair also i talked to the guy from speedtech here in edmoton and he has a silverstone s2000 and he told me he has the same problem although they put tires and do balance where he works at he still has the trembling...so i guess the alinement has something to do with...i will check it out now that i am leaving for Grande
Cache and i will tell you in 5 hours

ok the trip was very nice and the tires so far seems to be very good cause itryed them a bit on the highway, reached 200km in one point for 15 mins cause i mitsubishy EVO and a dodge charger passed me that fast so i followed them ;P , and the tires seemed to handle very well and most importand no trembling! hehe it was nice
