Dunno why I do it, but I went back to the well-known Boston area Monkey Lad
Training School (AKA NTB) to buy a set of Dunlop SP5000s and have them
mounted. Price was right, they matched the Tirerack.com price of $93/tire.
A 30 minute mounting took 2.5 hours <sigh> Glad I didn't wait...get the
wheels home, do a quick scrub before I mounted the wheels on the wife's car,
and one of the taped on weights comes off in my hand. Doh. Morons didn't
clean the area where they taped the weight, and it was taped to dirt. You'd
think they'd teach the lads some basic physics.
Yes, I know, I should have cleaned the wheels before I took them in...but
they didn't have tires on them, and I didn't want to scratch them up on the
garage floor. Oh well.
