I was able to diagnose a slipped belt once by removing the tire and rolling it
on a flat surface, and it nearly fell over due to the "out of round" condition

I have experienced two instances of failed belt in different sets of tires
recently. Both sets of tires were name brand tires purchased at different big

Never again. I now only purchase name brand tires from a trusted tire dealer.

I looked at the pictures, but I didn't see a body stile.
Neither did I see the 2,3 litters on the engine.
At least it is NOT black!
15" bundts? if so, they may be worth the price of the car.

easy: Jack it up and spin the tire. if it wobbles more than 3/16"
the tire is bad

I would have to go back and look, but I think one was Goodyear and the other
was Bridgestone.

The sayams clup tars are built to fail, so you keep coming back.
Most I got there were replaced in about 20k miles. I was getting
tars 2-3 times per year, driving 50k /year in the SDL.

The S430 has Michelins on it and they're very nice. 17" beasts, an optional
tire size for this model.
I checked prices on them and they currently sell for around $175/tire. Ouch.

I've had good experiences with Goodyear in the past, which was why I had them
on the car recently. The only mistake was buying them from Dead Sam's. I have
to assume they were Dead Sam spec tires as opposed to their main line brand.
