Wow, I'm sorry that happened, not exactly good timing.

Sorry, my old tires are sitting in Bellingham as of this afternoon. They probably had a bit of life left, but hydroplaning in the rain and getting stuck in the snow was getting irritating.

Since you want tires and CDG wants rims, maybe you could work out a deal where you split Noir's tires/rims?

BTW, for the upcoming meet, since Mayo and I were planning on riding together and we both have healthy SVXs, you could (gulp) drive mine on the tour, if Mayo doesn't mind us taking his instead.

Yeah I'm tryin to work something with Harry right now.

If that works out, then I think I'll try to get Earl to help me out with a temp fix until Harry's get here.

On someone's suggestion, I called Mike @ Smart Service yesterday just to see if by chance the "tribal logic" here was over-exagerated on the matching tires thing. But he confirmed it, on Subaru it is a very expensive risk to not replace all 4 tires at once, or even to miss recommended tire rotation intervals.

Wow, thanks for the offer on the car Aly! Like I said, I hope Earl has a matching spare set somewhere and is as generous as you because once Corrina's back I really do need the car. But if it comes down to it, good to know that option is there (I think Mayo also offered his car when we talked yesterday, so either way... )

Each time I've seen Earl, he's had a spare set of wheels complete with tires in his back seat!

ok troy, i cleaned them some (so you won't get dirty brake hands when you pull them out), packed them, and shipped them. emailing you the tracking numbers. if you don't get them by tuesday, raise hell with fedex (they did say monday though). if they get damaged, tell them to buy a new set for you .

i hope they meet your needs.

Thanks again Harry for all your work yesterday to get those out to me quickly. And of course the great deal too.

Thanks also to Earl, Ali, and Harold for your respective offers. Thanks to Harry's longer-term fix, I didn't have to take you up on any of them this time, but it is good to know we have a group like this and you know I will do the same in whatever way I can help in the future.

Thanks for all the well wishes here too and the advice. It helped reaffirm my faith in this car's safety and I think several of us also learned a thing or two about the lifespan of tires. Thanks everyone!
