yeah, but Bridgestone, Michelin and Dunlop are up from 150€ ($190) apiece where Hankook/Falken/Toyo are about 100€ ($130)... 600€ for tires seems a bit too much to me, but 400€ is reasonable

Ok, today I replaced the hood latch that was pretty much just rust... And it gave me quite a problem, as I locked my hood with latch cable detached from the mechanism
