Got the CS4's. Warrantied to 80k miles so I'm hoping they get me 60-65k at least. My last set of Michelin's were rated for 90k and I got close to 75k out of them. The Coopers also only put me back $421.

While I was there I also ordered 2 new tires for the front of my truck to match the rear and the price has jumped up $60 a tire since I last bought them. I think this will be the last set of SilentArmor's on my truck.

I was looking at the weather master st2 and the weather master wsc. The WSC seems to be more oriented toward SUV's with its sizing, but I think the smallest, a 205/50/17 I believe, would probably work ok.

Probably, I wanted an all season though. It was hard enough finding time to get new tires installed without trying time twice a year to get them swapped.

Cars and Coffee this morning, then brought the Mustang to storage, shopping errands on the way home, and now we are cleaning out what looked to be PigPen's Explorer. Sheesh, you can't give the three of them anything nice.

New Hampshire is already selling tickets for next years inaugural race. $112 for general admission for all 4 days. The weekend of June 20th. I'm just waiting for my buddies to confirm they want to go and then we will be buying our tickets. We will likely bring the popup camper I bought last year and stay in one of the campgrounds near the track. Should be a good time
