Should be fun :-)
These are very good choice but I have been told that Nokian will be "softer" and give you less precision and handling. Sellers claim maybe, he says that I wouldn't see a good difference between my Dunlop and Nokian on AWD car. It is cheaper too so I'll give a chance and form my own opinion.

Much higher than your QC dealer.
Wow! Are they giving 10% off for thanksgiving week-end? I thought it was offered by all Goodyear garage. Also these tire are RFT (not mine) so more expensive. They quoted me about 500$ higher for 3D. I decided to take the risk with non-RFT. I bought a repair can (safe for tire pressure monitor) and a compressor.

Depends on the wheels... real replica will fit with no spacer, centering ring on longer/shorter bolts. Mine shown above are supposed to fit perfect but I will only know when I will install them in about a month. I bought the tire pressure monitor at Tirerack (dealer charge 150$ each).
