=========================
That's WAY better service than I got from the last guy that I ordered my
Toyos through. I finally got them about 5 weeks after I ordered them.
Various excuses like; (after 1.5 weeks) "Oh, they're sitting in my
shippers stores and he's on vacation", (after 2 weeks) "What, UPS hasn't
delivered them yet?", (after 3 weeks) "They should have been there by
now", (after 4 weeks) "They got sent to the wrong address".
When I finaly got the tires they had been drop shipped from Vilven (CUT)
tire. Next time I'll just eliminate the middle man and get them
straight from the source. Cheaper too.

You're kidding, right? My brand new full tread (well, not quite
anymore) Toyos stick tons better than the older (3 years old) "shaved"
tires after I finally figured out how NOT to overdrive them all the
time.
On a side note, I definitely need new street rubber. With my alignment
settings (lotsa negative camber and lotsa toe-out) and driving them in
about 6-8 events last year they're quite devoid of tread in only 17,000
miles. Driving to work this morning on wet streets with my
worn-down-into-the-treadwear-indicator-bars street tires was like
driving on snow. Every time I fed in a little more gas the tires would
break loose up to and including in 3rd gear at city speeds. And a Neon
isn't exactly what I'd call overly endowed with horsepower.
Kinda fun though to spin the tires whenever I felt the desire. Gee I
wish I had more horsepower. ;^)
See you on course.
