Thanks for the opinions..I plan on getting an alignment done. I got Continental SportContacts: 22540ZR18 (fronts) cost $195 each, 26535ZR18 (rears) cost me $272 each, with $88 (labor) total mount, balance and road hazard. Had Perrellis before and these are much quieter which is my preference.

BTW..what "special tool" is required for alignment that my tire shop did not have? They told me that they did not want to do " a half ass job" so did not do it.
