Re: Treads
Money is a little tight, but my car needed new tires. Even though I made it through the winter in decent shape I was always concerned that I’d lose one of my tires at an inopportune moment. I am not sure what an opportune moment would be to lose a tire…perhaps if one blows just as you pull into the bay at a tire dealership. There are a lot of options and you can pay as little as $75 per tire to well in the hundreds of dollars. I really wanted to fall between the two and closer to the lower end. The problem then is that I’d be doing this again in two years. Tires just don’t last like they used to.Â
