No I haven't installed them yet. Probably closer to fall right before winter, if they will last that long.
I have 8/32" of tread on the front. (the tires that were just replaced 2,500 miles ago by Honda because the belts broke in both of them after 7,500 miles.)
The back tires have 4/32" of tread left.
I just wanted to get new tires now so just in case the rear one wear even faster I won't be screwed over when I have to get new tires put on that exact day something goes wrong, like what happened to me with my Element. Ended up spending an extra $175 more than I would have had too, if I would have already had the tires. So this time I am prepared.

I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say.
This 102T vs 100T thing is an artifact of the way different tire standardizng systems work. For practical purposes, they are the same.
I explain this in more detail here:

Bottonline, the 100T tires are fine for your vehicle.
Sorry about that. I did misunderstand you, and thank you very much for the link.
Sorry about the misunderstanding.

Not sure about a Discount Tire in my area and I'm not even a member at CostCo's. It is a nice place though. I already ordered and received my tires from TireRack, but thank you anyways.
Also, thanks for the great tip about Discount Tire. That is a good thing to know.
