5 quarts of Castrol Euro 5w40 for $14 after rebate. Not bad. at walmart. I looked and didn't see any information about if you could submit more than one promotional rebate claim. Does anyone have any idea?

It is going on the rear axle, that's where the blowout was. I'm not sure I'd save anything by buying only 3, typically the AT sales are for a set of 4, so I'll probably just go that route.

Just called, and they won't prorate until they are down to 4/32. So looks like I'll just stick with one new tire on their dime, which stinks, because I was going to make a killing on the prorate. Oh well at least I have three left. The tires were not that old---mid-2022 was the date of...

The Yokohamas I have now are SL. Are you talking about going up to XL?

There is a larger size that Toyota allows (OEM is 215-65-R16; but they also allow 225-60-R17), but I called AT once and I was told that I'd have to pay a lot of money to get new wheels or something like that--it wasn't a slam dunk where I come in and they just automatically install the larger...

This model is FWD. Every time I go there and buy new tires, they don't tell me that there is uneven wear. This happens regardless of the tire. The previous set, Cooper CS5s, got 24K--on an 80K tire. Because I have no clue, I'll ask you---would or could an alignment issue be causing excessive...

They only want to prorate if the tread is down to 4/32, and the guy measured them and said it is at 5/32 on all the tires. But I will ask when I call, if I can get some type of prorate. I'll only be paying $22 for installation on the Yokohama, for several thousand miles, which is probably a bit...

Current set of tires is down to 5/32 inch. They are wearing fast, they are 80K tires Yokohama Avid Ascend, at only 18K miles. One of them blew today, and we currently have a spare on it. Took it back to AT where we bought them, and the roadhazard warranty, and they said they could order...

You said "mostly" alignment wear. Each time I get a new set, I ask the folks at AT if the tread wear was even, and they say yes, so that tells me that alignment wasn't the issue. Or is that not a warranted conclusion?

I don't know about other minivans, although I have heard owners of other minivans talk about unexpected tire wear. As far as the CS5s go, I have no doubt that they are great tires. They are or at least were, highly rated here, which is why I bought the set.

No, they never have. They keep records of their own. As long as you get the tires rotated NLT every 8K miles, they are fine.

The nice thing (about the only nice thing) about how my Sienna eats tires for breakfast is that I get incredible prorate on the tires when I buy a new set at Americas Tire. The last set I had on, the Cooper CS5 Grand Touring, an 80K mile tire, lasted all of 24,000 miles. And I did regular...

Agreed. If you do spend a lot of cash there, it is a good deal. Wifey was given the sales pitch one time she went shopping, we took the plunge that year but in the end, ended up getting the additional annual fee back, because our 2% didn't add up to the higher cost of the executive fee. But we...

Plus that citi costco card gives us 5% off their already low gas prices; and 4% off the gas price of other national brand stations. That often makes their own card cheaper than other gas stations' store-brand credit card or cash discount.

If you need tire rotations, IIRC Americas Tire will sell you lifetime rotations for $23/tire (or at least that was the price the last time I checked). I don't know how far beyond 15K your OEM tires are going to go, so you might just ride those out, if they are close to replacement depth, and...

This does look good. This M1, and the Fram xx3600 that is its equivalent, always has lots of pleats. And they are almost always nice and straight.

I agree, although that only works as long as the dog is alive. I'll never forget the time a psychic told me that I'd experience a tragic loss of life in 12 years. I was shaken up so bad I went out and got a puppy to console myself.

At first glance, I disagreed with her idea. There's no way that would apply to myself & my wife. But on second glance, she might be on to something. Men's life expectancy is shorter than women's. And if you count backwards from the day that they die, that means that at any point in time, men...

Proton offers free VPN, I use it through a browser extension on Brave browser, although they also have pro plans. Works for me

That's right, it was you, not the other member. Oh well its too late for me to edit my post. :(
