New tire time?
Well sorry ahead of time, these pics where taken with my camera phone so they arnt all that great, but I am just curious if its time for me to buy new tires?
I was going to buy them right away, but I just got my insurance bill.... They had 500.50 in surcharges due to tickets from 2006..... So thats the 500 I was going to put to tires
Anyway, can I get buy a little longer?
Damn, sorry didnt think the pictures where going to be so big O_o

OK, so tires are my next big purchase. I am going to try to get them as soon as possible. Yea, I dont even want to talk about driving in the rain.... I give it the slightest bit of gas, and she loses traction like woah. 55 and under in the rain!

Check out BFG KDW's. I live in Portlnad, OR and it is wet 60-70% of the time up here so I wanted to get good wet/dry tires. Compared to the stock Pirellis... well there is no comparison. The BFG's handle way better in the dry and even better in the wet. The wear value is much better also. My Pirellis were gone in a little over 10,000 miles, I have 4,500 on the BFG's and they still look pretty new!!! They are an extremely good value also. About $130 bucks cheaper per tire. Anyway just my 2 cents, but I think it would be worth your while too check them out. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....ce+T%2FA+KDW+2

I was actually looking at the
Kumho Ecsta ASX
they are 117 a piece, and get really good ratings in rain and snow.
My stock tires went after less the 10,000 miles. I currently have Perelli P Zero Nero M+S's on there now, and they lasted me up to the 39000 miles I am at now. 30,000 isnt terrible for how I drive.
The Kumho's say they wear and last longer then the P Zero Nero MS's (420 vs 400 tread wear rating) and they have AA and A, vs A and A. Also get pretty good user reviews, and since they are the cheapest solution, will probably go that route.
Kool thing is Tireracks warehouse is here in Delaware, so ill get them delivered in like a day.
