Correct, however my experience is even though they're RF, the ride is much better than the OEM tires (I wanted non RF too but I'm totally happy with the RF version)

Good price. The above are mostly quoted from Discount Tire website, includes mounting. I probably can get some form of discount. I’ve been delaying going for fear of finding out wheels are bent lol.

While I don't own the AS3's I've read a lot of threads about them. I don't think I've seen one negative comment. Very good DD grip. No Ackerman Effect sounds, less road noise. Better grip in cooler temps.

You really do not want to cheap out on tires. Spend the extra cash and get a known quality brand. The Michelin PS A/S 3+ tires are very good.
