On this particular day I met her with my car and did a five tire two car tire exchange to get her a full set of matching tires that weren't ticking time bombs.

The tires were full tread and showed no rot just too old an apparently brittle



Bonus pic of my hand in one of the gaping holes on the outside of the tire.

We've switched to Dunlop grand trek wt mk 3 and mk2 and never turning back. I've measured over 3/8g acceleration on wet slush and over 1/2 g braking on same. That's half as good as dry pavement.

I use them year round so I have effectively infinite more traction than the next guy when I hit that first rain in a while oily spot in Chicago. They have paid for themselves in just a few short months.

In my case with M3s and runflat they stick out past the rim. Well automatic curb protection. I skipped off a curb going 30 the other day. When I pulled over to see if I just shredded $600 worth of tires not to mention rims all that happened was the tire shine from a recent wash was dull.
