well, not exactly.

i'm driving home and i realize i don't have near the traction i should have, it's very wet and it's raining, not real hard, but it's raining pretty good.


then i realize, OMFG, i've had these tires on this car for 100k miles.

i think the tires were rated at 60k miles, i guess i got my moneys worth.

the problem is, i'm buying a new car within the next 4 weeks, seems like a lot of money to buy new tires when i won't be keeping this car more than 4 weeks more.

the car is 8 yrs old with 170k miles on it.

i doubt i'm going to sell it for any decent price, a friend of mine has offered me $1500.00 as is.


i've told him everything that i find wrong with the car.

but it runs, engine is in good shape, transmission is fine, power steering is a bit low on fluid.

 
Hmmmm.........

It's definitely the exact kinda' thing I'd obsess about.


I dunno what I'd do. If you think you can get $500 more for it by putting new tires on, go ahead.......if not, just sell it to your buddy for $1500.

ya, i'm going to check them in the morning.

even in the spring they were fine, they channeled water away pretty good, but i'm starting to feel quite a bit more slipping in water now.

besides, i don't think assuming that threads are pretty far down with 100k miles on the tire is that much of a stretch.
