New Tires!

[bronsin]

Well I picked up a nail in one of my Bridgestone RE 92s with 41k miles (OEM).
These tires are on the rear and have like 3mm over the wear bars. I was planning to wear them out down to or past the bars but decided to get some new ones for many reasons.

$215 OTD.

Now I have Affinitys on the front and rear. The ones on the front have ~5000 miles on them. So now Im in perfect agreement with the sign on the wall at the tires store that sez put the new tires on the rear so you don't spin out in deteriorating traction conditions. I DID manage to do that two winters ago in a shapr left hand curve doing 15 mph when an SUV doing 30 and passing me on the right came very close to my car. I instinctively turned the wheel a hair more to the left and the spin ensued.

Im getting old!

Next thing you know I be replacing my six year old + battery before winter comes.
