Polished? Really? They're awfully shiny.

I'll have to look more closely next time.
The 255/50/16s in the rear might be a little tall for my car, don't ya think? I was checking tire diameters on tirerack.com and the 255/50s are about an inch larger in diameter (~4%) than stock 225/50, depending upon what tire you look at. Was thinking of going down to a
slightly lower profile tire when these Dunlops wear out, if I don't swap wheels.
