Yup, and she does drive like a dream now in comparison to before. Definitely worth it.

Pfff, the only downside to driving a mini cooper is that: a) there is no spare tire (only the foam), b) since tires are smaller than the standard car sizes (i think 17-~?), tires have to be imported and cost that much more Q_Q.

I just bought a new set for the Accord this weekend. I normally never buy the certificates, but the guy dropped the tires prices so that they were $5 a tire. I said fuck it and got them. In my 16 years of driving I have had only one tire that had to be replaced due to road damage. Plenty of nails, but only one side wall.

I'm just glad my car doesn't vibrate at 70 anymore.

New tires improve the ride tremendously. I have never bought hazard coverage, the place I buy from we use for work and also for other business, they give me a good deal on the tires and adjust them pretty fair if I blow one.

Welcome to the world of driving a car with 13" tires... Trying to find sport tires for that is like trying to teach your cat how to mow the lawn, it just doesnt happen...
