9.9.10 Not How I Wanted to Spend $550

My tires were ridiculously bad and in need of a new set. I asked the dealership how much and they were over $500. I thought for sure I could get them cheaper somewhere else, but alas, not so much. I got the cheapest they had, and didn't buy any extra insurance or anything. I hated spending that money (and it hurt me quite a bit this month), but it sure is nice to not have to add air to my leaky one every three days(especially as it is getting harder to bend over or get up off the ground), and to not slide all over the road and peel out every time I start driving. Apparently having tread is a good thing...who knew? =)
