so, tomorrow the wife and I are travelling to see my folks for the holidays. so today, when I got home from work, I decided to rotate the tires, as the fronts are lower on tread than the rears and we are travelling to an area that gets a lot more snow than we do locally. So, I do the deed (one that I've been putting off for several weeks) and jump in the car for a test drive. Test drive reveals a noise/vibration from one of the front tires. I get back home and inspect my work, thinking maybe the lugnuts on one of the wheels werent tight enough. Nope, it turns out that the left front tire has a broken belt (beginning stage, no wonder I couldnt feel it on the back). So, now I have to spend $115 for two new tires, money that I was planning on having for the trip.
Oh well, better than having a blowout on the highway at 65 mph. Still, not how I was planning on spending tomorrow morning getting up early and going to the tire place instead of sleeping in.
