I spent almost $200 a pop for my sports car, TWICE -once for summer and another set of Blizzaks for the winter. I'll still cheerfully drop over a hundred each for all seasons, and as for my bike, you don't even wanna know..

Tires are literally where the rubber meets the road, not only the single best performance upgrade but also the single best safety upgrade as well. I literally tried to hydroplane my Goodyears once (on a very safe, clear road through a meadow that had a dip that tended to get wet...a spin would have ended in nothing but grass) and couldn't.
