Default just a friendly reminder

check your tires! wet and cold weather means less friction!

There are a couple of S's on USF campus who are running on next to no treads!

Im glad you are up to date with your tires' condition. I learned the importance of tires THE HARD WAY last winter when i did a 180 and almost ended up in the ditch. I was so fortunate that i did not hit anybody or even cause any damage to my car.

i just got a nail in one of my front tires heading back from the track on sat. And I had the warreenty from tiresdirect unforunetly they don't make the falken 451s i have so now i may have to put a 452 instead. Or should i just replace both tires? And these are fairly new tires. what do you guys recommend. If I do have to get 2 new tires what should i look at then. KDWs?
