Default Mooncake arrived!

Work Emotion XC8 baby! After waiting for a month it finally arrived=) Could've got them earlier but the size I want needs special order from Japan. Shipping was really fast, took about a week. I haven't put them on yet, still waiting for it to stop snowing here in Calgary. Tires arrived two days before the wheels. Tires are Dunlop Direzza DZ101. So basically I'm all set, just waiting for the sunnn to come outtt. Here is some pics I took.

Just ditching mine on a heavier V8 with 10K for severe cupping on all 4 inside. Lasted about 15K less than my Michellin PS2, with no where near the performance. Even the wife hates them.

Work wheels deserve better, believe me.

really?! I did some research before buying them and that's not what I heard? The salesman and some members here in CL who've tried this tire b4 said it was good and it last around 30-40k.
If that's true then it really sucks cus I can't return em..
