    Yes, they fit fine and work much better than the Dunlops. Had them on for the last 25,000 miles with pleanty of tread left and they still handle great.

    ING Direct or online savings account

    OK, sounds like you've got you head on straight for this then and you've made a good decision on what to do, with no credit card debit and a 0% loan on the car you are paying off the right loan because of the shorter length repayment term.

    Home theater question

    Opps, that's what happens when you are trying to type with the kids around. I meant throw away system, meaning that when it breaks you get something else because it is not worth fixing. For your needs it sounds like this would be a decent piece. Like I said it's OK for bedrood and apartments...

    ING Direct or online savings account

    First how much money are we talking and is all of it going to be used when you pay off your student loans? Also what will the rate on your student loans be and do you have any other loans or credit card balances that have a higher percentage rate? Because honestly unless we are talking in the...

    Let's make fun of establishments that are foreign to us!

    Most of the menu is un-printed. You can order your burger normal, animal style, protien style and probably a few others, also you can get them single, double, 3X3, 4X4 and up to 8X8. Yes, that is 8 patties on one burger. My favorite 3X3 animal style combo with Coke.:) I remenbe the first time I...

    Home theater question

    As was said just use an optical cable and you'll be fine. To bad you are on the other side of the country we are selling those things off for $249 just to get them out of our store. We had them to give away as freebies with TV purchases over $5000 awhile back and had a few left. Unless this...

    sound deadener review

    God, that brought back bad memories. Did my first car with Dynamat Original, all the existed at the time, second with Extreme and various others with spray on Dynamat. Of the three I much prefer using the spray on and a compressor if you have the time to do it. It's tedious masking everything...

    Mazda Adjusted Break Bias on "newer" Mazdas?

    Same deal for me and with the front pads halfway worn the rears were toast, had to replace the rotors since they were so scored. Wife's car not mine. Seems to be an issue with the P5 for certain, don't know about other Mazdas. Once you see how the rear caliper design is done you can see why...

    2 small kids, protege5 or mazda 5?

    With an infant seat you do need to move the front seat up slightly, 2-3 notches, for the best clearance. Otherwise it's fine and it's a short term issue as the children get older. I've got a 2 year old and a 4 year old and they have no problem fitting in the P5 at all and that's with both...

    Other then Mazda?

    My current other car is a 2002 Izusu Rodeo, with a great big 2.2l 4 banger engine. Obviously bought not for power but for the size abd ability to carry me, wife , two kids and their strollers and stuff, also to haul supplies back for Lowes for working on the house. Previous cars for me and the...

    Nickel shiftknob, cheezy?

    OK, I finally got time to find the coins. Not the greatest looking pieces and only one has a 5 in it. From left to right they are 1, 10, 50 and 100 yen coins. Pics are front and rear. Let me know if one, or all, of them will work.

    Nickel shiftknob, cheezy?

    Looks cool, but yea I'm not really feeling the nickel. Possibly the Japanese coin idea might look better. If you want one PM me and I'll see what we have sitting around the house. I go back ever year with my wife and kids to see the in-laws so we always have some coin adn papaer sitting...

    The truth!

    If you get a ticket for breaking the law and getting caught deal with it, you broke the law and you have to pay for it. Do you get targeted more when you have a highly visible car or a deck out one, why yes you do because your car draws attention. It's also a statistic that younger drivers get...

    Are these stupid tattoos (NSFW)

    Hey it's their body they can have what ever they want tatooed on it, I've personally got a dragon across my right sholder blade and upper back, but the art work in the first one is not very good. He really should have found a better tatoo artist, it's really going to look like crap in a decade...

    Need small center channel for home - please help!

    Generally you do not want to have the rear surrounds aiming at your listening position for movies and surround sound. You want to try to use a diffuse speaker design like a bi-pole or di-pole speaker. If on the other hand you are listening to 5.1 music like SACD or DVD-A then you do want the...

    Need small center channel for home - please help!

    Posuer's right on with his advice. If you are keeping the Onkyo's I wouldn't touch a Klipsch speaker, the tonal balance will be way off and it'll stand out like a sore thumb. If you want to go in-wall I'd go with Niles, they are also bringing out an on wall plasma version, the PDH series...

    Need small center channel for home - please help!

    What brand are the left adn right speakers? Generally you want to keep the same tonal quality between all the speakers, but especially the left, right and center. I would try to find a wall mounting flat speaker from the same manufacturer of your other speakers.
