Pretty good for almost 8 year old tires with 25500 miles on them.
ohh gotcha. yeah my car obviously sat for a while since it only had 18K miles on it in 08 when i got her & the horrible dry rot from sitting lol & ya know for a car that had sat for most of her life, she sure did have a lot of scratches & other problems with her when we got her seems weird to me

I still have my ugly weights, uggggg, got new tires a few months back and forgot to mention that to them.....looks like I will have to pay someone to re balance them to put the weights on the inside.

Probably going to cost me $50 to get rebalanced just to get weights on back if I take all 4 tires off and bring them somewhere, grrrrrrr

Nice. Glad you got something before it was too late. Those looked dangerous to drive on.

Are you going to get an alignment any time soon? It might be a good idea based on the uneven wear of your old tires.

Looking Good. We had Firestone Affinity Touring on my mom's Bonneville. It was the OEM tire. We got a healthy 52,000 miles out of them before they were bald.
