Subject: RE: Grocery Getter Tire Wear


It depends on tire, vehicle, driver, conditions.
My parents had a 1993 Buick Century they bought new. At 88k it had digs, dents… they wanted new Century dealer offered under $2k iirc. Even thou I hated driving it. I gave them $2k. Tires were still almost twice minimum. But every time over previous decade when they had me drive. I felt like on slick roads. I could almost break free at speed limit on curves, cloverleafs.
First week I put new tires with softer compound, 2x traction… totally different car. 130k I sold it. Tires were borderline.
But dealerships are often crooked. They are worse for ladies. Show up needing a wheelchair.. I told the guy to come closer. I needed to know if ANY judge would throw a guy in wheelchair in jail for beating the crap out of a crooked shop mechanic. I never found out. He put it together under my supervision. *I had one good leg at time*
