The wife's aunt. She's not kicking too high, and everyone thinks this might be her last one. So lots of the family showed up. 4 out of her 6 kids where there.
What did you accomplish today?

Me too. And it being Federal adds a layer of excitement. But since my name was picked and I didn't have to go, I'm off the list for 2 years.

The ones I got have a 65K warranty, however I am a bit concerned that the compound may be a little hard. I kicked the car in the ass a bit when I left the tire store and they cut loose pretty easy. I'm hoping they will grip a little better with some wear on them.

Mine had enough tread left that they did rotate them. If they are too slick, they won't do it. So I'm good for a while. I start shopping 5K from now. Good tires is the only thing that will cut down on road noise. I'm wanting to see how much more it will cost me, and if I can stand to spend the difference.
When we were driving the old Prius, we went through tires like crazy. Something about the quick torque and turning that chewed them up. You saved money on gas, but not on tires.

My front tires were toed in and I didn't notice it soon enough to keep the wear even, I bought some cheap tires before, these are the third set and my car is almost at 60K.

That is too much wear for that time.
A funny story:
For years I would go in every few months and buy used tires for my old trucks. Gradually we were able to hang on to a little more money. One day I went to buy tires and the guy just automatically went to the side where the used tires were. I said, "no, I was going to buy new tires this time." He said, "new tires. Damn. You shittin' in high cotton."
So if that is the judge of prosperity, I am doing real good these days.

I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't have the rear wheel alignment checked, it has IRS. The tires still had reasonable tread in the center, but with the shoulders being worn off I didn't trust them.

The tires on the wife's 2016 Jeep Patriot were shot at 19,000.
So I go to the local tire place and got a set of Continentals.
Inspected last week at 35K miles, down to 4/32 after just 16K. They will honor warranty at 3/32, 2/32 doesn't pass state inspection.
So I've been spinning tires alot the last couple days.

I had to go to Gainseville to help a friend move during Gator Nationals once. Those guys were in every bar in the town.

Stop by here in your travels.
This guy supplies most of the sausage at little league games, high school rallies and such.
Almost always sold out. Good stuff.

I spent a couple of three hours on the chainsaw today. Got most of the down trees near the back yard cut. Still a bunch of leaners that I haven't decided on. But as soon as I get the posts and fence out of the way, and clear up the other end of the back yard so the truck has a place to turn around we can go a head and order the wife's she shed. It's going in the back yard itself. My pole barn, shipping container and greenhouse will go where I'm cutting trees now.
