School has been kicking my ass. I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but I can't wait to get out of school and start working my 40 hrs a week. I'm pulling double that easily some weeks with my major. And I hate this damn Ohio weather. I just can't wait till break so I can pop the summer wheels back on, wash the car and thoroughly wax it. How you been Dam?

If rotation was done at DT then I am sure they did it accordingly. Only reason I asked is if you had done it yourself and not realized the tires were directional, that could cause bad things. And I am sure they balanced the new tires and more than likely not the front ones. Most places will charge extra for that so you could check your receipt to confirm.

I almost bought tires from that place but they never returned my call. How has communication with you been? Those are good prices...I may just have to get some SPT's. (yes)

I'm going to be honest, communication has been a little "rough." First, they sent me the wrong size tire...I called customer service and it is either located in India...or a company that only hires people with very heavy accents...it was a little difficult to explain my point but in the end they scheduled for UPS to come and pick up the incorrect size tires. (after my initial call to customer service I began to comunicate in email only...that worked fine.) Also, if your phone does not accept calls from international numbers then they will not be able to call you. Calls made TO them go to an 877 number...calls FROM them come from a +306 (something like that) international code. I've ordered with them prior to this instance and it went fine and smooth. Really, their prices are pretty hard to beat and they have a wider selection of tires than I have seen on other sites.

When you say to take a photo of the information on the sidewall...what should I be looking to capture in the photo?

Also...I have a question: (humpleg) <----what does this mean? LOL. I can't stop staring at it trying to figure out when this would be the appropriate emoticon response.

I really want to try the "Runway Enduro" tires from that website.

I hate being stuck at work when I am in the mood to wash/wax my car. Sigh. Or maybe I can go find a giant foot and get my grind on...whichever comes first.

Well that explains it.....I called them and got voicemail and left my work number. So in the end I ordered from DTD. As Liquid_ag mentioned, look for the word 'rotation' on the sidewall. You will see an arrow that SHOULD be pointing towards the forward direction of the tire. If the arrow is going backwards, take the car back and have them do it again.

As for that emoticon, that is the classic 'leghump'. Used primarily for those that, well like to leghump the female owners on the boards.

Hey hey hey.....i had every intention to install lastnight.

I soldered on the 9005 male connectors to active the high beams and i got blind sided by a migraine.

Callie came home and was shocked to see them on the counter and not installed lastnight and me out on the couch trying to kick the migraine

But if DT did it, you would 'think' they would look for that word....then again.....yes, get pics please.

Totally unrelated...
But i think it's really cool that so many people seem helpful and generous with their own knowledge in this forum. (hippy) Especially when considering I'm car-tarded and asking questions here versus me having to take it to a mechanic to ask questions saves me money that I don't have. So, uh, Thanks!! (group)
