Tires

[silvius14 at comcast.net (silvius14@xxxxxxxxxxx)]

O.K............you can say it.........I'm cheap!!!  I put on almost 500 miles a week on my 1982.  I have some snow flakes with fairly good tread (185/60r14 and love how they handle), but some POS sliced one last year.  I guess I really only need to replace 2 for now?  They're just cheap Grand Spirit GT's.

Is it advisable to mix tread design and just buy 2??  Hmm, here comes the cheapness again!!!

Thanks,
Karl
