Dang. Thought this forum was more active......... My buddy that runs a tire shop quoted me $678. CDN with tax for 4 Goodyear Assurance tires, mounted & balanced. That is ~$170 per tire. Seems like a lot. He says they are rated for 105,000km and "a lot better tire than the Kumho or Dunlop"...

i'm thinking Kumho Ecsta ASX????? i'll shop around for these. shipping / duty from tirerack might be too much, i'll check with some local tire places. any suggestions / help much appreciated

Hi there, Canadian member checking in. (canada) I have an '03 Protege ES with the OEM tires still on it. (Dunlop whatevers) The tire size is P195/50R16. I am looking for an affordable replacement all-season tire. Costco currently has a deal on Michelins where you get $60 off plus a new set...

noob checking in just finished the first full tank from the dealership. i am getting around 21-22 mpg. 50/50 mix of highway / city. it has been cold here, around freezing and colder at night. i didn't know until reading my manual but they didn't recommend long warmups. i was warming it...

Thanks for linking up that thread :D My wheels have this problem also. I am hoping to try this eventually although I don't know when I will be able to do it, what with the cold winter and only having my unheated attached garage to work in. Would it be possible to do what is in that thread...

no doubt :D well, i can always *pretend* it is a manual with my little + - shifter (eekdance)

thanks.... if i say no, can i still be a member? (nervous)

here's a pic of my car (thumb)

Hi there, great forum you have here! I just picked up a used 2003 Protege ES with 35,485 kms or ~22,000 miles on it. It is in nice shape except for some little marks which I might need advice on how to fix, and also there is some bubbling on the rims but I might make it a project to fix that...
