I bought new tires this weekend. They were around $500. I can think of a LOT of other things I would rather spend $500 on. I won't list them because it makes me sad to think about them. But, it had to be done. I've had two people that know a lot about cars tell me, independently of each other, that I REALLY needed them. One of them is my dad. They might have told me that a couple weeks ago. Did I mention the time I wrecked my car because the tires were bald? Did I mention last week it was raining REALLY hard on my way to work and I hydroplaned on the interstate? Luckily, there wasn't anyone in the lane next to me 'cause I was all over both lanes. It was very scary. All of that being said, I really should have known better and gotten them earlier. But here's what really led to me buying them:
My insurance deductible is $500. After my little incident on the highway, I realized I was going to be spending that $500 either way. I would much rather spend it on tires than pay it to the repair shop.
Now please go check your tires.

Good thinking! I'm glad you're safe and that nothing happened! We do need to get together again, VERY soon!! Miss you!!
WHEW! Yes I am glad you got new tires! That is scary. Glad you are OK. I always wonder how they can tell the tires need replacing. I mean I have seen bald ones, but before they get that bad. I have no idea how to tell. sighhh. should have taken shop class in high school.
