Well it's startling to look like I may need to change my tires. The front tires have began to slip a lot when the pavement is wet. I would be scared at the thought of what will happen in an Indiana winter:Q

So what is your tire store of choice when it comes to all weather tires?


Edit: grammar

i assume if you buy from tire rack you have to know how to mount tires and balance your own wheels though, right?

why not measure the tread to make sure you really need to get new tires? How about rotating them?

Well these tires have been rotated before and it has been like 3-5 years since the last pair, so I think it's about time to get some new ones.

I assume you have local auto repair places by your house that could do this for you for a small fee.

that does cost extra. Figure another $40 or so added to any tirerack price to get them mounted and balanced.

Don't get all season tires. I don't know about you, but I would be uncomfortable with driving around on 80 square inches of compromise.
