sorry, it's www.advance-auto.com. well, i noticed that they want to contact
the pavement, but are not OVERLY aggressive in that sense. they grip the
road, but don't dull your senses. i took a really bumpy road on the way
home last night, and i felt the bumps on the road, but i wasn't bouncing
around. and most of the bouncing that i encountered felt like they came
from the rear, which i didn't change over (i'll do them on a couple of
months).

What I meant by "push the tires onto the pavement" was that rather than
feeling the tire start bouncing off the road, it would come right back
down as soon as it was over whatever it hit.

Didn't ask if the $58 was including installation.

That website goes to a Jeep shop in Mass.
