Continental seems to only show one...

Since they're like $100 off at Walmart I guess I'll get 4 - if they're 9/32" instead of 10/32" they do have a 90-day free return policy, but I guess that's only about a 1/8 value difference, or about $40 on $320. The two "good" tires I have a about 6/32" tread, which if these start out at 10/32" and 2/32" is the end-of life, that means that they're about 50% worn out.

Perhaps I'll wind up some day having uneven enough wear to warrant putting them back on.

Tirerack says:

*Several Original Equipment (O.E.) sizes are branded with the M+S symbol to identify they meet all-season design standards and are suitable for driving in occasional light snow. These sizes are identified as M+S on the tire's Specs tab.

That is so weird. Still haven't dug into what Walmart is up to.

I could put a send of Landspider's on it for about $600...

I installed a set of Landspider Citytraxx on a 2017 Honda CRV yesterday. Drove ok after installation - we'll see how they hold up.

I also now think I need rear rotors - relatively significant wear ridges, and I really don't want to deal with pulsing or pedal bounce after all of this.

Considering:
Raybestos Element 3 coated rotors - $42 ea.
I've had OK luck with these on the front of the WK2 for about 5k miles and seem OK so far.

Bosch QuietCast - $70 ea.
I bought rear Bosch ceramic rear pads before I started working the front rotors/pads that are now new Brembo's. Go with matching rotor/pad - probably doesn't matter that much on the rear.

Brembo Prime - $77 ea.
The fronts I just put on look really good, but $77 ea seems kinda steep for rears since the fronts were only $75 ea.

Let me know what you think.

At $1.5k vs. $1.1k, I'm thinking $1.1k sounds better... Unless we think these will live ~30% longer... 560 tread wear vs. 420...

$1499 - 5% on Amazon... about $1424. Makes my 2 "spares" less useful, but that's probably OK, especially if these live longer.

You need to make sure it's the M+S and MO tread.

I messed up due to Amazon's crappy search and had been back on CrossContact UHPs.... Fixed.
