After my little incident I was lucky to get off with just having to change my tires. The vibration was just too much, as soon as I hit 80 kph and went faster the rougher the steering wheel vibrated so my only choice was to change my tires.

I have had the Bridgestone Duelers for a while now and I think they are pretty bad tires since they are pretty bad when I brake and lose grip faster then I would like. My first choice was the BF Goodrich All-Terrains but it seems they are expensive and people don’t buy them in Kuwait, they go for 60 KD a tire, and for an SUV it seems to be expensive. I went to Al-Mailem Tires on Canada Dry street around 6:30pm on Thursday to change all the tires and get an alignment. They have a very large selection of tires, and I thought they might have the ones I wanted but they didn’t. They had different on-road SUV tires available but I didn’t want just on-road tires, I wanted them to handle in dirt as well so my only option for All-Terrains they were the Toyo AT Open Country.

They mounted the first one just to see how it looks and I have to say it didn’t look too shabby so I went ahead with them. At first they were 52 KD a tired, then he dropped it to 39 KD a tire and a 10 KD computer alignment for a total of 166 KD. I was watching them mount the tires, and I could watch them all day I just enjoy went new tires are mounted. These new tire balance computers are amazing, I was standing next to the guy doing it and asking him questions.

As soon as they were done installing the new tires I went for the alignment and you stay in the vehicle while they make your adjustments which is really fun. Overall these tires are much better then the Bridgestones from the first day of use.
