Good Deal for Tires?

[Whelan]

new Brakes go on this week with pics since I am painting the calipers and drums. But I found on Ebay a set of Eagle RS-A's for $95 + $35 shipped. so $130 for the set of 2 with 80-90% tread left on them.I know the GY's are not the best, but my rear tires have tons of tread left, my fronts are going slim and I really don't have the $$$ to put out for a full set of different tires, nor do I want two different kinds on the car. Would you go for it?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...le:us

That would mean paying closer to 200+ for the tires and install once they got here. I can get these done for $150 max, done, on the car. They have plenty of tread left and will get me through this year.

I wouldn't buy the GSA's for any price, even the shipping! Just put the worn ones on the back until the fronts are done. Regular rotation would have kept the wear more even.

Tires were rotated regularly, every other oil change 6k. These had wear when I first got the car and I knew they would go sooner. Not a big deal, the RS-As are not horrible and get the job done for me. I'm not out to auto X just yet.
