Oh well, this fatal day few hours ago the Front Right and Back Right tires literally blew after passing over a hole in the street, one is flat with no visible signs of damage, but the the Front Right looks like if it was slashed with a sharp object and the wheel is slightly scratched at the edge, fortunately my speed wasn't high (20 or 25mph) or i would be writting this from the twilight.zone.com [:0],i wonder where the TAX incomes goes? all the damn streets in the city are full of holes and patches
![]() Anyone knows the cost of each tire? I just hope the wheel/suspension/etc are ok, cuzz if not those are big words ($$$) right? |

... was visited by the insurace agent and told me that i need to pay about 900 dlls (5% of the car value) but also that the car need to be checked so he gave me an apointment with the dealership, another ride over a crane yeah! i'm becoming expert on climbing the crane's platform! so for the next days the GT will stay at the dealership's to check if there's more damage, they will call me on saturday to inform me about the diagnose.
Yiak! 165 bucks each tire (checked www.tiretrack.com thanx IRPT!) hmmm i would add 30% plus 15% TAX here in Mexico... with too many holes in the streets having a GT would be expesive. Many friends told me about a new law to sue the town-hall for damages caused by poor/bad care roads and streets, but oh surprise i went in the afternoon to the zone where the hole is to take a pic for the evidence and it was filled with sand [xx(], i asked to the owners of the stores and fastfood rest. nearby and told me that a truck arrived early and dropped sand in the hole. I took the pic anyway, although it would be useless (for legal purposes) now, but when i was walking to home i found anothe big hole (160 ft away from the one i felt on) so i took a pic of it too and of course pics of the damage on the GT so i hope to develop/scan the film soon to share 'em with you, not that i'm proud of the (miserably) state of the streets on my town (and country) but i would like to know what the ppl of another country would think about (when the ppl at gov. wastes your money giving themselves very often bonus of thousands of dlls just for doing nothing [|)]). Thanxs everybody (and sorry for the blog) i'll let you know how the things are going. Saludos Amigos!

I just got rid of my GoodYears for these:
Yokohama Avid V4S P215/50R-17 93V BW UTQG: 500AA $114.00 Free Shipping! from Discount Tire and Tirerack has them. 500AA rating, one of the highest ratings I've seen on a tire. They handle great wioth very very little road noise. I've had Dunlop, Michelin, GoodYear and others and I sold on this tire for the money.

Another good tire seems to be the Yokohama AVS ES100.
I'll be replacing my Goodyears with these soon, probably at the same time as I do all of my suspension upgrade work in March. Paul |
