wait a sec, i thought redfields got the same superdy duper lupy warranty that everyone goes crazy for? :chuckle:

If you couldnt notice a difference in the store, then either ask the clerk to take them outside in the evening or go with the redfields to save fore gas money or....get these and see a difference.
