Tires I dispise buying new tires :(

I have finished cleaning up all the scrap metal around the property and made plenty of money so I decided to finally replace the front tires on my Ford 1920. Well, the tire dealers around here only could find the BKT and Firestones in 8-16 and the Firestones are not being made currently so I had to go with the BKT. The best price I could get is $100 each so with mounting, tubes and the tires it cost me $273 for two little tires. They are a 45 degree tread and I prefer the 23 but I think it will be fine. Hopefully these new tires last 1200 hours like the original Firestones, they still had a bit of tread on them but were cracked so bad I kept getting thorns going through the cracks and puncturing the tubes. I just hope they still make this size tire when its time to replace them again

Don't feel too bad, it cost $1,750 to the replace the 4 tires on my Corvette which has 26,000 miles on it.

The price wasn't what bothered me so much as I spent $1400 just to buy the back tires on my 7710-II a few years back. It was the fact I could only get one brand and style of tire in this size and it wasn't the type I actually wanted. I was just tired of messing around trying to keep these current tires rolling.
