Worn Tires

Buying tires to me is one of the most annoying things in life. You have to shop for the best price, take hours out of your day and then endure the smelly mechanic with their belittling "sweetie" and "dear" conversations. I know a bit about cars and pride myself on revealing just enough information to belittle El Stink-o Gearhead. But tires are important. They are what we rely on to get us to certain destinations. Tires are meant to be used. They are designed for travel and dependability. Tires are the grip we have on the road. What is not fun is wasting those tire on spinning in place. Ok I have spun a wheel in my day and laughed about it, but to do it continually is not smart. Tires are meant to take you somewhere. And to do nothing but stay in one spot spinning away is a tradgedy of immoral proportions. So why do we spin in place in other things? It frustrates and irritates us beyond comprehension. I would rather slam into a brick wall that spin in place. I want to WIN. And winners move forward.
