Places like Pep Boys, Sears, and Costco?: Yep... for most other places, the prices tend to be higher...

Yeah, you mean ignition coil. The distributor also has an igniter in it, which is an expensive piece.

Well your next alternative for something rain-oriented from tirerack is the Dunlop SP 9000 at $106 a pop. So you might want to compare the T1-S to that and see what each comes to after shipping.

Or there's the Avon Tech M500 at $77 a pop from tirerack. Reasonably equivalent to the ES100 in the dry, better in the wet.

Good call... I was looking at those a while ago, then completely forgot about them h:

Available in 195/55/15 and 205/50/15.... I think I should get the 205's though...

You want 205/50, not 205/55.

I have my eye on A032r's.
Is their water evacuation good enough to keep them planted down the highway?
