Way to go Drunken.....tires are so important and should be the last thing one skimps on.....over the years I've had several cars and was amazed at the improvements in handling and ride feel that tires can impart.....I used to own a Kia Spectra (don't laugh --it wasn't a bad car) and I put a set of 4 Pirelli tires on it and was blown away by the improvement.....

the center of the tires was mangled. i figured it would be redundant to just rotate them since i have awd.silver, the cheapest tires they had were about $65 each, mine were only $75, the rest was installation. they were the best tires they had, 60k miles is darn tootin' in my book.
