- Cheap tires are junk, regardless of brand. Better tires always cost more money.

Again, not true. I stand by my comment that there are low-priced (meaning not necessarily the cheapest) tires out there that are excellent, and there are expensive ones that just plain suck.

Just a word of advice to everyone, really ... DO NOT equate mileage with quality. Having traction, whether wet, dry, snow, or ice, is much more important than trying to save a few bucks because the tires are designed to last 60+k miles. All it takes is one minor accident to wipe out all of that savings.

In the end, everything that makes a car go, stop, and turn, relies on those 4 pieces of rubber.

-- Kane ... and if your slushbox equipped, normally aspirated, 4-cylinder Volvo can spin the tires dry without doing anything special besides stepping on the gas, THEY SUCK! Get new tires ... quickly!
