Yup, crappy tire. I probably should have checked Napa and CarQuest, as they are often less expensive, but I wanted it done and was at C-tire.

Actually I could use some new tires as well, at least a set of Winter tires for now. I will need a new set of non-winter tires come Spring.

They do. I bought a lawn mower using nothing but CT money once. I'm sure that cashier hated my guts having to count that serious stack LOL.

While I was there I saw the snowblower that is pretty much the one of my dreams. It has a 45" swath, and dual tires. The only thing I would have preferred was a larger engine and powered controls for switching the direction of the snow output. I might even go back and take a pic with it just in case someone wants to give me a rather expensive, but really amazing gift.
