Unhappy Some bad news..

First off, sorry for not logging in for a while; the economy has me working like a hog.

Secondly, I have been at the dealer 6 times since i last logged in. Sad? I know. Well, someone slashed two of my tires, and my nanny's 2005 Altima's tires. REDICULOUS. I don't know if mine were slashed or if i hit something. My nanny believes someone slashed hers.

Sorry for the brake dust, car is 7 months old with 14k; just to show you how much i drive.

Here are some pics (quality = iPhone 3G):

Jesus, sorry to hear that. I haven't been able to log in as much either since I have been working two jobs. I have been working anywhere from 70 to 90hrs a week. I will work a twelve hr shift,sleep for two hrs and go right back in.

Hopefully.
If not, then I will die of a stress heart attack.

What kind of tires came on from the factory anyways? I'm at work, otherwise I'd go look.

I've paid as much as $140/tire for the 225/60/16 for my Lincoln, but they were uber-sticky performance tires and worth every penny. I have also found that in terms of price per mile, cheapie tires are not worth it. If you spend $90 a tire for a tire that lasts two years versus $75 for one that lasts a year, it's pretty obvious that the cheaper tire is not at all cheaper.
