case closed

if they dont pay for tires park it back in thier driveway and explain to them their nice gift can no longer be used because you dont have money to maintain it

but one thing is for sure, complaining about tire price and thinking they should be cheaper holds no water, you want the best, you got it.....and it comes at a price.

now its time to sh it or get off the pot.
Well said....
..............and now....I'll see myself out!

Student athlete or student visa? If the former, I would stop posting about your cars on the Interwebs, even if just for appearances. I'm pretty certain the NCAA has high speed internet connectivity.

Does anyone know what the cheapest set of tires you could get for the stock wheels is?
according to Tire rack you can get Pirelli P Zero for 1100

I think Bernie Sanders has mentioned something about free tires for everyone. You may want to check it out.

Over $30K for a set of new tires on the Bugatti Veyron! They actually expect an owner to drive over 250 MPH? There are only a few places on Earth where that speed can be achieved.
