The tread on my front tires has worn off to the point that I find my car (2007 Mazda3, I sport, 2.0L) swevering. Given that I place some minimalistic value on my life, I've decided that buying new tires seems like an intelligent decision to make.
Problem is, I know fuck-all about tires - and figures this was a good place to start.
I walked in to the Sears auto guys near me - they quoted me ~$330 (with taxes and install) for 2 Bridgestone HP550B tires. There are a bunch of tires places located nearby that i could probably call, but I'm curious if you guys have any thoughts on tires brands (is this a "you get what you pay for" thing or more of a "monster cable" type deal?) / places to trust / price points - really anything so I don't go in like a blithering idiot. If you have my car (Terpkristin, you have one don't you) and experience buying tires, that would be golden.
