I am wondering cause I just put my harts with original tires still on them on my car. They have about 28,000 miles on em, but I drive like an old church lady so there still is some tread but worn out pretty good. I was looking for tires and they are going to be like 400 bucks and I am broke as all hell now and cant get any till 4 months from now? So I just dont wanna have a huge accident over the tires, So if one goes do ya think I will be safe, Or should I try and get tires asap.

I just hear everyone here talking about the tires and they dont last long, BUT is that due to their driving habits??? Or just soft tires?

Thanks

:confused:

I had a blow out on mine at about 22,000 I knew right away when it happened, I was going about 80mph. I think the dunlop tires are pretty soft, but driving habits help the process. The tire that blew out was pretty worn and i have on more just like it but the other two tires arnt too bad.

make sure your better ones are up front. if they get really bad you might want to throw ur snow tires back on untill u get the loot. I wouldnt want to see you damage the mp3 from a blowout.

One of my dunlops blew out on me at 32K - the other ones were almost bald - I had a rough night that night - be smart - don't drive around on bad tires.

I replaced all 4 with sumitomos, they are supposed to be performance all-season's - so hopefully they can handle the snow and last longer than the dunlops.

why would you put all seasons on a MP3?

Sounds like a bad idea to me.
