New Tires

Well,after debating it for a while but I finally decided to stray away from runflats for a while. Just ordered a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE960A Pole Positions. Having them installed Wednesday morning as well as getting an alignment done. I can't wait to see,feel and hear the ride difference. Also,if anyone is shopping for tires right now,Bridgestone is offering anywhere from $25 to $100 rebate when you buy a set of 4 depending on the model you get.
So now that I've got non runflats,anyone know what the best kit is for fixing a flat with the TPMS?

The SLIME kit. They claim no damage to TPMS. Comes w/ compressor,plugs,sealant,etc. in a carrying case. NO JACK. I paid $79.99 for it online but have since heard Walmart has it for $70.00

Your car should ride and handle much better with the new tires. Let us know what you think of them once you put some more miles on the car.

Well,the initial change in feel of the ride with the new tires is phenominal. A lot less noise and pebbles in the roads don't feel like going over railroad tracks anymore. I think I'm hooked already. Haha
