Baby Needs New Shoes
The tires on the BMW had quite a bit of tread left when I purchased the car 18 months ago. After 9,000 miles have passed, and a nail in the sidewall on one that could not be repaired, it was time for a new set. As I only use this car to take Patch to park and run some errands, I looked into using entry level tires and an economical price. Discount Tire stocked an import brand for $73 each that had the same speed, weight load, and tread wear ratings as the usual Michelins that are three times the price. The car now has a much lighter steering feel and smoother ride, so I am pleased so far.
