Need New Tires, Recommendations? - S2 - 11-26-2004
Upgrading to either a New VOLVO S40 T5 AWD (Turbo All Wheel Drive) or a BMW 330CI.... not sure yet, but that's the plan. I'm getting to old to be driving a car with a body kit.... lol
Actually I want something more 'comfortable' and a bit more 'my age' if you know what I mean.

Yeah I figured I would get that, actually I think I am getting 'bored' with the focus also. It all depends on if I get in with the City Police this February (got my polygraph and final interview) then with some luck, off to Regina in August 2005 for 5 months of training.
I am thinking about selling at the start of summer since that will be a prime time to sell the car but we'll see. All depends on alot of things.

I got 205/50R16 Toyo Proxyes TPT all-seasons....I've logged about 8,000km on them and they are very grippy on dry pavement, wet traction is very good...now they are supposed to be reasonable in winter0--
but, I dont know...we've had freezing rain and slush the last day or so and it was no trouble but, thats not a real test...
but these tires are pretty nice, although they could be a little quieter...but it's not bad!!

Yeah I might get those also, I got a reasonable quote on Toyo tires but didn't know much about them. I have heard of them before. Thank you much for your input.
I really appreciate everyone's input on this, very much, thank you, keep it coming.

I actually will take my training in Regina (there is a police college there). I will be employed with the Saskatoon Police if I get in (I say if cause there is no guarentee but originally last year when I applied there was about 350-400 applicants and I got down to about 100 then got deferred for a year cause I lacked volunteering, etc)
Anyway I will actually take about a $4,000 paycut for the first year on but after 5 years it's around $60,000 plus TONS of movement upwards if you want.

Damn man, now the fuzz will have an inside track with the Foci crowd :P
Seriously, that's cool though. My cousin's Ontario Provincial Police up here in North Bay. Good luck on the opportunity.

Definitely got my fingers crossed to get in. I have only a couple steps left and along with all the volunteering I am doing (Big Brothers, United Way, etc) plus the fact that I got a retired staff seargent and a current seargent on my references list will help me.
Back on topic, buddy here at work said I should go check out Costco for tires, I guess they have everything there (brand names).....

I checked out Costco before I went to my Ford dealer for the Goodyear Integrity set... I wasn't that impressed, and having to drive an hour or more to settle a warranty or other issue wasn't that appealing.
I just went with the dealer cause I can drop off the car @ 7 and be at work for 7:30, same as always. :) Plus, the price was low-ball fo sho... under 500 bucks for 4 tires, installed and balanced, plus an oil change and filter and a #3 checkup for 40 bucks... taxes in on all that.

That was for 4 185/65R14s... but your price for 4 16"s shouldn't be too bad.
Need New Tires, Recommendations? - S2 - 11-27-2004
Right now the best price is for the OEM replacements (Firestone Firehawks) for about $175 installed each.
I'm looking at about $800+ for a brand name tire right now. Tire size on the S2 rims is 205-50-16
