new tires
so, i went to discount tire today. $490 later, sporky has 4 new tires. i wound up going with the michelin hydroedge because the goodyear aquatreds aren't made in the size i need anymore. after driving from the tire place back home, my initial feeling is that the tires are much quieter and squishier, more comfy ride. they also look really cool. it was neat to see them pulling the old tires off of the wheels. i was amazed to see how much wear was on the old tires. wow. i'm glad that i got the new ones before the rain really started.
