new tires

I got new tires yesterday. I hadn't planned to but when I went to have them rotated the woman working pointed out that two of them needed replacing. I knew we were getting close, but had hoped to wait awhile longer. It's always expensive, but it was well worth it so far. The last set I had were weather tires, the same brand I had used on a previous car, and they didn't work very well. Everytime I would stop on wet pavement they would slide anyway. They really drove me crazy when they would squeal just making a minor turn or when I started to pull forward. For some reason they did not like to "catch" the road. I always made sure they were properly inflated so they shouldn't have been doing that. I used to own a cavalier and had put those same tires on it and never had any problems from them. I personally think they kept the name and downgraded the tire quality.

I got a different brand of weather tires put on this time. Higher quality too. So far so good. It's nice to stop or take off and not have my tires spin or slide. It's really great not to squeal in the local parking lot. It got very annoying to have people look at me like I was trying to show off or something. Can you see a mom of two pealing out in the parking lot. I know I can drive aggressively but I don't do it in parking lots.
