$150 (4) OE tires from my 24 outback xt
no vibration, patches etc.
I measured them all 4 at 9/32 last week.
DT tire guy today said they were all 9/32 or between 9/32 and 8.5/32
they have aprox 8000-9000 miles on them. I run a winter set so the mileage isnt exact.
Quiet round and black ;)
They are also quieter and soak up road bumps better than the replacement pirelli scorpion as plus 3's

Located near Akron Ohio, I am also in the cincy, columbus, and Pittsburgh areas frequently.

Not shipping them.
late 2023 dates.. including the pictured 40th week of 2023 tire.
They are dusty from the sandstorm fallout(roads are currently the dirtiest I've ever seen with clouds of dust flying all over)

Did you buy new Pirelli scorpion all season +3?
I can’t buy your tires, that’s not why I am asking. I live too far away.
But that is really a good price for 4 and will make someone very happy.

Yep Got DT to pricematch sams club..
$153 a tire+ install and tax
Was A+ today for Discount Tire I'm not a superfan.. as @edyvw knows.... but they did everything right.
Quick(30mins) torqued with impact w/torque stick
final torque on ground.
I checked when I got home they were all very evenly torqued. I'd estimate at the right torque too around 80-85ft/lb
no wheel gouges, broken tpms etc.

I'll post up a review of the pirellis when I have at least 1000 miles on them.
Initial impressions are ok.. but not as big an improvement as I thought.
Steering still very light/vague if better, and road bumps marginally harsher.
Conti lx25 was the other option for a few bucks more.. but I dont like to judge a tire this early.
I basically ignore them for 500 miles minimum.
