The tires were old, but not at all bare, and I had had my car in for an oil change a few months earlier, and they didn't say anything to me about the tires. The service center also sells tires, so they usualy look at them. The tow truck guy who pulled my car out of the ditch said it looked like the tires might have been re tread, but both the tire stores that looked at them said they were just old (a bit over 5 years).

As to the rates.... Yeah, WTF? It's not my fault that some asshole contractors are charging as much as they can get away with. I just don't know what to do to contest it. It'll probably result in me paying an extra $300 to $500 in insurance over the next three years if I do get the point on my license.
