The Baldimore Beltway(tm) is where they got the inspiration for the Death Race movies so maneuverability is a must
I've been finding some nearly new tires for half price at Pick n Pull lately. Need to examine closely and look for the manf. date.

A friend of mine came through town in her Rav4 and needed some new tires - was on a budget. I found two cherry Pirellis, 215/70 R16, for about $35 ea at PnP. Amazing luck, would be, I dunno, $125 to $150 new.
