I feel ya, Mine was broken into on V-day and it took a month to get all of the insurance crap settle then it was fixed and I had it back for a whole 6 days when it went into the shop for the body kit! that was another 3 weeks! So needless to say Im neve putting it in a shop again!
I had a bad SP5000 last year go out on me on my way home (a 500 mile trip). It took me a week or two before Sears took my tire back and ordered me a new one. I called Mazda and they said discontinued tire series and I could only get one through Dunlop dealer (Sears) because I had an emergency case. I got it at no charge because the other was a defect. But what a hassle for one stinkin' tire. Good luck.
my sales rep mentioned to me that our tires are specific to the P5 and no other stock car comes with them...If this is true, that would explain why they are hard to find.
