Called a tire dealer here in Philly..He got the front set in on Friday and the back set should be in Monday or Tuesday at the latest..I went with Goodyear Eagle GS D3's(forum recommended)..Saving around $600 vs the the stock, loud, harsh riding runflats!!

I was going to order from Tirerack and try to find a reputable installer. But if you have a reputable trustable guy, I'd like to hear about it.
Thanks.

The second happiest day of your life will be when those RF's go to the scrap heap. I've got the aforementioned GY's on my 1999 coupe. Love 'em. May put a set on the wifey's Acura CL Type-S too.
