Wtf -- bald tires?!! No excuses
First, like all the others, I am relieved that no one was hurt, but sad that your car is wrecked.
And now for the SCOLDING --- many have posted that they are running on bald, or near bald tires!! I can't beleive this! That's really silly. Think about a selfish reason: You invested between $30,000 - $40,000 on your car, and you don't spend $500 to get a new set of tires every so often? That's not money well spent. If that's not reason enough, then think about a saftey reason --- you are imperiling others on that you share the road with! You can seriously hurt someone in a car wreck.
I've logged more than 105,000 miles on my car, and have been through a few sets of tires. For my Summer tires, I've found the TOYO PROXES S/T (there is also a S/T-II -- same tiure, different look) to be a great tire, and can be found for a good price:
255-50/18 (These are almost identtcal size to OEM by profile....a great fit!)
Cost: $130.00 @
Go here and get a new set of tires today :driving: :
