Have been driving on the new A550V tires and love them. I left the shop and hit the highway only to get a mile and hit Atlanta traffic. I thought the car died when slowing for traffic. Hardly, but was surprised at the difference in noise levels from the old tires.

It was hard to find a dealer in my area who had the tires. Every time a shop did not have them, they would try and sell be something else. Ended up being National Tire and Battery. Good service, however they did not torque the lugs as promised. The tire tech had three torque wrenches at his bay, but I watched him fail use a single one of them. I only live a few miles, it was Friday night so I decided to drive it home and torque myself. The brakes squealed the whole way home (when braking). My torque wrench snapped up to 120ftlbs...way to tight. Total bill out the door $544.86.

Thanks for all the input on tires!
