on my way home from work on friday when it decided to pour rain my sporty falken tires did not fare to well and i ended up hydroplaning in to a muddy hill and ended up between 2 telephone poles and my rear bumper being 10ft away from train tracks....twas scary as hell but i survied and thats whats important!!!!!!!!
car survived as well!

my view for 2 hours while waiting for a tow truck as i was stuck (more like 30 mins after that i could not see out of the window from snow)

Never heard of Geruttis. What's the story on them? Are they any good?

I have to say with Michelins so expensive and all the other name brand tires so terrible, I'm tempted to go with no-name crap tires for my next set. I've driven on crap tires and they were vastly superior to the last set of Bridgestones I was forced to endure. Lots cheaper too.

bump for updates!

I'm been doing some online tire shopping. I'm leaning toward Kumho tires from tirerack.com. They are a lower priced tire and I get positive vibes from buyer reviews on their site.
