I'm gonna have to get my snow tires put on my wheels sometime this fall. Probably November. Won't be able to do that, though, until I replace my tie-rod ends and get my front end aligned.

I need to rotate my tires. The fronts are starting to get bald, but the backs have almost all the tread left on them.

Might be able to find some good used tires to throw on the back once you rotate them too. Honda Civics have a pretty common wheel size if I remember right.

Tires for my car aren't all that expensive. For 4 brand new Firestones (which are really good tires) it was under $100 a tire.

When I got tires it was like ~$700 for all 4, I wanted to puke.

That's not bad at all! Tires for my Mercedes are relatively cheap too. Nothing like truck tires.

I used to play this game, I was a well known admin in this community. My skype was on various forums etc.

Well, one day this chinese guy (girl?) added me and explained to me that (s)he wanted to learn english better so because she was an international marketer for a tire export company in China.

I added her to my community's skype groups and from there on many interesting (tire) stories began.

I don't know why I shared this, seemed related.

This is to you Kior.

If your tyres aren't rotating, you might want to get your wheel bearings looked at.

Vredestein volante though I preferred my older maxxis detonator more. I'm worried about the conti's rain performance, as it's almost a slick.

As seen in my car picture: bridgestone RE11, though I will be replacing them with winter tires soon

Tyres?

On the front wheel of my mountain bike I have a Maxxis Ignitor:

And on the rear wheel, a Maxxis Cross-Mark:

On my car I have Pirelli's, only because that's what was on there when I brought it and I haven't needed a change of tyres yet.
