i know were your coming from Dan and yes very good point about risking it, though i dont have a credit card unfortunately and didnt get paid at christmas so extremely tight january for me....with oil change/plug monday and 4 wheel alignment doesnt make it any easier
have to do it really as im down to the cord on one edge of the rears so cant take car out at all
The tread on the bridgestones are far better than the ones on the car so technically im being safer
Thanks for making my conscience tick though, i did have a complete winter on bridgestones 2 years ago with snow ice and almost wrote the car off going down a hill so im well aware of how pants they are
