1/2     What's a good tire store in the south bay? (one that changes and
        checks for your break)
        \_ costco
           \_ its a good place.  But come at the wrong time (weekends),
              and you may have to wait an hour or two.
           \_ Does Costco also fix breaks?  I got new tires from there before
              and I thought it only does tires.
                \_ they may not check breaks.  you may be right.
                   \_ It's spelled "brakes"
                \_ they may not check brakes.  you may be right.
        \_ I really like Big-O; their prices are fair.
        \_ Any recommendations for Z rated tires? I need new tires for my E36.
           \_ Bridgestone Potenzas, Dunlop SP9000s, Pirelli P-zeros.
           \_ Michelin
           \_ E36 == BMW 3 Series?
                \_ yup, previous gen 3 series.  current is E46.

2/6     Does it cost a lot to replace tires on a Prius?  Do the low-rolloing-
        resistance tires cost more than ordinary tires?
        \- according to my prius associates, it was $600 to replace theirs.

10/28   What are some good tires for a wet climate.  Yes, I know about yokohama
        but they're a bit pricey, are there any cheaper ones?
        \_ Yokohama is a medium-tier brand. You won't get much cheaper. Go
           to http://tirerack.com and check out their ratings. --dim
        \_ My Dunlop SP9000s are the best tires I've ever driven.  These

11/27   Does over-inflating the tires improve gas mileage?  I tried
        over-inflating the tires on my truck by 5 PSI and I hardly notice any
        improvement.  (It's a Jeep Cherokee.)
        \_ They have a PSI rating for a reason.  You're going to improve your
           mileage by some meaningless amount while decreasing the life of your
           tires a *lot* which means new tires sooner and increased chances of
