[Shotimes] Tires

[Paul L Fisher]

Well...... You can get good tires inexpensively. For example, Tire Rack was 
clearing out the Firestone Firehawk SZ-50's in 2001 for $40-$50 a piece. They 
are equivalent to the Bridgestone Pole Position S-02's. Very good deal and 
numerous people took advantage of that.

Keep your eyes open and you can get similar deals.

The key is, don't buy less than a V rated tire unless it is a pure snow tire. 
Usually you get a better quality tire when they are V rated.
