Non-abrasive sticker remover? AND tires

[CrawlingEye]

Well, as some of you may have read, I just got a '93 Camry.
The previous owner was a professor at a few local colleges and had 2 'staff parking' stickers on the Camry, one in the back left window (the smaller one) and one on the bumper. The one on the bumper is really a problem, because I have to worry about harming the paint with things like nail polish remover.

What'd you guys suggest I use?
I was looking at this: http://www.midwayautosupply.com/deta...ption.asp?9085

For the lazy, it's Blaster Decal Remover. I could probably pick it up locally from autozone or advance auto parts.


Second half, on the tires:

What do you guys think of Dunlop SP Sport A2's?
My Camry needs a set of new tires badly, my parents are paying with around a $50 a tire budget. After checking out tirerack.com it seems the SP Sport A2's seem the best for the money.

Thanks all.

I got Kumho ECSTA HP4 716... $40 a pop for 205/65-15. They whooped your Dunlop's ass on the comparison, and they're over $20 less, times four corners, I just saved you over $80... honestly though, I love these tires. Where my old Goodyears would give up and understeer, these suckers don't even make a peep. WAY more grip than my stock suspension could handle. I highly reccomend them.

BTW: I ordered from Tire Rack, and literally within 24 hours I had a pile of brand new Kumho's in my backyard. Excellent service.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to call Sears. I can only get the tires locally, so ordering from tirerack is out. I'm going to try and price match something through them though.

I don't think they have the Kumho's at Sears, so I think I'm limited to their inventory.

Do you think the Dunlop's will be bad?
Right now, the previous owner had a mix of 3 different tires on it, 2 of a kind on the front and 2 mix-matched pairs on the back (neither of which matched the fronts), so it kind of just REALLY needs new tires.

The Dunlops actually didn't seem that much worse than the Kumho's other than price. Just, to me, paying $80 more for a comparable tire doesn't make much sense. But if you can't get the Kumho's, the Dunlop's looked pretty good. I don't know what else there is in that price range, though... I never really looked around much.

Have u tried a hair dryer on the stickers yet? The hot hair should melt the glue a little and give u an easier time removing it.

No, that's not a bad idea at all. The only problem is that I don't have anywhere to plug it into. My car's parked in the driveway or on the street, so I can't get a power cord quite out there.

Maybe I'll try to grab a long extension and bring it out to the driveway.

Thanks for the tip.

Awesome, so the Dunlops are definitely a go. Hopefully I can get the CV joints banged out soon and then it's on to the actual upgrades.
