Replacing only 2 tires? (Resolved!)

[David Thoresen]

Discount Tire Called me back later in the day and told me they had some 
returns with under 1000 miles on them for only $250 (215/40R17 All 
Season Z rated Continental Extreme Contact [Oh my what a trendy name!]) 
  So now I have 3 pretty good ES100's in my storage waiting for a 4th 
used one (Anyone have a 205/40R17 with 5-6/32" tread left?)

I did notice a bit of road noise with the windows down on the 
Continentals, but windows rolled up its not so bad. (Hope 40-45PSI 
might help out a little) I am just glad with winter rolling around the 
corner all season tires are on the car.

Thanks Again for all your help everyone!
