What you want is a good, solid Hercules tire. I cannot recommend the required inflation pressure, however.  181k on the original tires? Really? |

I would like to see a photo of the tread before you replace 'em. Must be like hockey pucks at this point. |

Blur any good deals at Goodyear factory I wish. Basically all we get is employee discount coupons. You make your best price and then send in the coupons for a rebate. Varies from $15 to $30 per tire. If you show up at the Shannonville skidpad on Sunday I can give you some coupons Oh yeah, we probably make that size right here too. |

Take the tires off the rims, keep driving. Sparks at night is cool. |

I'd like to suggest HERCULES G5000Z 215/40ZR17 The only question then is ....what tire pressure should you use? |

What's the thread depth left on them? Just keep driving them until you're down to the rims.   |
