Thanks for all your advice everyone. I realize all-season tires are a compromise; but they are convenient. I picked up my Nexen tires today (not Capitol as I previously thought). Now I have a Falken ze 329 I don't need.

Our closets are stuffed to the rafters already (with boxes of 'stuff'). And no, we do not get any storage. None of my immediate family lives close. My non-immediate family would probably 'lose' my wheels and tires.

The biggest problem with summer/winter tires is storage. I live in a tiny apartment. Where would I store my summer/winter wheels and tires?As I mentioned I don't travel much in the winter time, just around town.

I called and visited my car tire place today. I was asking about Falken tires and BFgoodrich tires. The BFgoodrich supersport was $180 each; a little rich for my blood. The Falken ze 912 was $148 each. The salesperson was really adamant he could get me a good tire for much less. He suggested an &quo...

It is a little expensive for sure. Walmart charges $49.97 for the same service, but I don't have to tell you how much I trust them. I have dealing with this local company for least 12 years (since I was old enough to drive) and I have never had any problems.I should compare the local tire outlets ch...

I have a 09 Vibe with upgraded wheels. The vehicle has the stock Goodyear Eagle RS-A with one exception. Shortly after buying the vehicle, I hit a curb and blew a tire. In desperation, I replaced the blown tire with a Falken ze 329 (from the Big O dealer where I was vacationing).The reviews on TireR...

I changed my oil today at the local quick lube place, a mom-and-pop. I went with Pennzoil Synthetic. They charged $64 for full service including oil, filter, fluids check, and vacuum. I'll go back in 5,000 miles or 6 months, whatever happens first.

I would love to take to the dealer, but they aren't open on Saturdays. Their open hours almost match my work hours exactly (M-F 8 to 5, closed Holidays). I will take it to the local quick oil place; not Jiffy Lube, a mom-and-pop.

I'm late to the party, but they look great. I wish they made the TripleTreds in my size, 215/45R17.The stock RS-A's do stink. I am not looking forward to winter driving.

I got a new 09 Pontiac Vibe in June. I haven't changed the oil just yet (I have 1,693 miles on it). In my old car, I changed the oil every 3 months without fail. I found out very few people do that.I was thinking of using synthetic so I can go 6 months without an oil change instead. If I did, I'd us...

In the past I have used the local America Car Care center. I bought some of their branded 14" tires for my Cavalier. They worked OK and the service was good.I just bought a 09 Pontiac Vibe with upgraded wheels and 215/45R17 Goodyear Tires. I already had to replace one blown tire with a Falken Z...
