Re: potenza re-930 it is! Re: recommended 185/60/14 tires?

Congrats Dave! I am confident you'll love the tires.

To have a local dealer match the price, print out the "QUOTE" from Tire
Rack Online, and bring it to the store with you.  NTB's policy is to match
*ANY* competitor's prices, and they iwll gladly match NTB's prices... but
they'll tack on outrageous shipping charges unless you have the Tire Rack
Quote right there in front of them to show that shipping isn't expensive.

	Most tire manufacturers will use a protective coatiing on the rubber when
it's shipped from the warehouse to ensure that it doesn't dry-rot or turn
weird colors.  For some reason, the Bridgestone tires I've gotten from the
Tire Rack have quite a thick coating on them-- so be careful for the first
2 or 3 days-- the handling will be at like 80%...  so also reserve
judgement of the tires for a few days cause you'd hate them if you didn't
know that they would get better. :)

	Have fun, good, luck, and let me know how you like them!!

Jason
