Great looking ride, congrats and welcome!

Lots of choices regarding new tires but know you can easily spending upwards of $1200+. Yes there are great less expensive options too! Before you head down to throw $$ into buying new tires needlessly, why not see if they truly are 10-11 years old. Just read the mfg date code on the side:

Mine had Pilot sports, but I switched to Sumitomo III (not II). there is a thread about them. I love these tires so far 3k miles. The only negative is they flatten out overnight and take about 1 to 1 1/2 miles to get back to normal. Oh did I mention they were $700 installed (all 4)? They grip, the ride is good, and wear so far looks real good. Oh did I mention they were $700 installed? They got great reviews from all the car magazines and I haven't seen a negative article yet.
