How much does Parada's cost in Cnanda? {Spelling error on purpose}

 

[Salmon_Rob]

a million dollars canadian a tire. 20 dollars us

 

[Breeegz]

ordered rims (REV model V)
looking at tires, Parada Spec 2's come to mind, but I have never owned them. Are they as good as the online reviews indicate?

[Nomad]

Installed Eibach Pro Kits and new endlinks, Cleaned and painted calipers, Installed new Rotors and Posi Quiet Ceramic pads, washed/waxed, installed Rockblocker fog black outs and put back on the nice rims.

Still need to change oil, change spark Plugs, clean engine bay and bleed brakes.

I'll probably be getting those tires, they look like a great value.

$364 shipped in one day.

yeah that's a nice price. I'm going to call the tire place up here (an authorized tirerack installer) to see if it would be cheaper to have them order them and mount them, since it saved my roommate about 80 dollars for his general exclaim UHP tires (#1 rated in the ultra high performance category on tirerack somehow). Plus, then if I got a blowout or any other damage I wouldn't have to ship the dead tire back to tirerack.

The problem is, and I will post pics later, is that when I got an alignment last july, It obviously wasn't done properly and my tires wore incorrectly and prematurely. I am bringing the old tires with on sat, if I can get him to buy me a couple of tires and align it, great. All that I really want is a free alignment.

 

[Rosshole]

Does anyone think that if I bring evidence of his bad alignment, then he will re-align it for free?

 

[Kansei]

How prematurely? I have 10k on my tires and they are bald (well past the wear sensor mark) on the inside, on all 4 tires. I only put 300 miles on them before getting the car aligned (the day I installed my lowering springs, and then I didn't drive it again for 3 hellish weeks until my appointment for the alignment).

 

[Rosshole]

10 to 15 k, but not evenly at all, the cords on the insides were showing in some spots.
