Well my new tires finally came in.. Was able to get a 10% discount on them from Discount Tire from the shop that is basically in the parking lot of where I work. Still after everything was said and done.. wound up costing a few dollars over 1k.

I had checked Tire Rack and a few other places, but this still wound up coming out the cheapest.. They were able to throw the Continental Extreme Contact DWS's on the original rims and rebuild the TPMS monitors without issues.

The car definitely rides differently now.. they are a bit thicker then the original tires(but not by much) but the ride is definitely quite a bit smoother. The only thing that I am wondering is if I should get an alignment done. I am at 35k miles and with the new tires there is an ever so slight pull to the right now. I am wondering if I should just let the tires settle first and then look at an alignment or if I should just bite the bullet and have it checked.

Anyone have any recommendations for places in the San Antonio area for alignments? Is this one of those instances where its best to take to a dealer? If so, does anyone have any dealer recommendations?

Thanks for the input!
