Got fed up of simply this week, tried to get a hold of someone for install/balance to no avail. Usually don't pick up the phone, I understand they are busy, but they just lost a customer.
Steelcase had the same tires for $1/tire more, going there. Saves me the hassle of driving in that construction shithole and it will get done during my lunch.

That said, I also didn't go with simply for my winters...

I did email him, he did answer on the price, but i wanted to setup a time and make sure i am not stuck there waiting like in the past even though i set a time...i would much rather have that convo over the phone and not on email. Anyway, i am actually glad i found a place closer to home. I don't want to drive there tbh.

Was going to buy the BMW douche cover but this one was on sale for less money and it is microfibre on the underside. So nice and soft
nice, risky can use it as a roof tarp as soon as his roof shingles give out

Hator let me know how that cover holds up and if it lets dust get through. I have the other crappy tire cover and my car gets dusty under the cover...my car is covered in an underground parking lot at work doe and there is a ton of dust in those.

This isn't a fitted cover, but it might as well be. I bought the one for medium sized cars and it barely fit due to the width of the car I guess? It's really snug around the fenders/quarters and was just long enough. Can't pull the cover past the tail pipes to give you an idea...
How tight is your cover? Being in an underground garage I assume there is lots of traffic too right? If the cover isn't snug that's probably why you get dust under the cover, which is shit because you risk scratching the paint when taking it off.

BTW, shameless for sale plug in here, but I have a set of 245/45/19 Dunlop WinterMaxx for sale, used only for 5 months!

If those were 40 series I would have shit my pants as I just bought new tires in that size.
