This is a little remark of how to waste more money while trying to save some. Turned out that one of the tyres I had bought had a bubble. It isn't visible until air pressure. Townfairtire, who was mounting them, refused to mount bubbled tyre, so I had no choice but to buy one brand new to replace the one with bubble. Doing some measurements later, I realised that rear tyres weren't matched well. They were four 32nds from each other which is more than commonly accepted maximum — three 32nds. All in all, today I decided to buy second one to pair them perfectly. After all STI's limited slip differential is more expensive than some tyres.

— RaynoAt least Town Fair would mount them for you. They refused to mount BRAND NEW RE070's for me. First the guy said they can only mount tires purchased there, and then he said "we probably couldn't handle those tires anyway, those are drag radials."
Got Hogan tire in Tewksbury to do it for $120. What a rip off.
