SPIKE--- Yup, that's the best price I found anywhere for the Cooper - Zeon "LTZ" (VX-KAT is gonna' be frickin' jealous). I know you were stuck between the "LTZ" & "XTi" for various personal reasons, and it was difficult for you to finally make up your mind between the two.
You mentioned in an earlier post that you like to cruise the winding roads in a spirited manner. In that regard; the "LTZ" is probably the better pick, as the "shattered glass" tread pattern will act more like a wide tiger paw helping you corner. In addition, the tread pattern of the "LTZ" is more resistant to the elongated tar strips down highways that like to pitch the vehicle from one side to the other. By contrast, the "XTi" with its elongated grooved tread would have easily snagged freeway tar strips, thereby jossiling you about within the lane (not good).
The tread pattern between the "LTZ" and "XTi" are significantly different and will make a significant different statement with the "look" of the VX. Personally; I really like the unique one-of-a-kind "shattered glass" look of the "LTZ", way better than the more common "XTi" tread. In my opinion; you made the very best pick between the two choices, as it will make your VX look simply bad-@ss. Plus, you got the "LTZ" at one hell of a price (the lowest I've ever seen them listed for)!!! Well done, SPIKE.

That's like $170 less!
course I did negotiate a free alignment (at a future date) and got free flat repair/change on site if I need it (and they can get to me quicker than AAA or Good Sam club)...at least it makes me feel a little better....
p.s.....was slammin' down the freeway today with windows down and they really are quiet tires at 65-70 on the highway....way cool!
Super VXer

Super VXer

That there looks like a quarter pounder, man!cool! bring em on down so i can mount and balance them for ya.. and do an alignment while were at it..
Eric.... Why so many? Your rims in that bad shape?
Bob will probably pick them up tomorrow night after they arrive in my driveway ... then either mount them tomorrow night or Wednesday. (cant beat 'free'
Then I will bring them over to you for the alignment .. There still a Wednesday discount available?
Super VXer
wednesday discount is on parts only.. so wouldnt help alignment unless you needed shims for camber/caster, but even so.. no biggie, so no real "best day" to have it in although the guy id choose to do it is in wednesday 9-6That there looks like a quarter pounder, man!
