Took my wifes car to a local NTB hoping they had Kuhmo's (decent inexpensive high performance tire). Kuhmo's are priced at about $99 per tire at The Tire Rack. The guy did not have any, but tried to sell me some Continental Conti-Sports for about $200 each. He claimed that since the Conti's were original equipment (they were not) they would last at least 50K miles and hence were worth twice what the Kuhmo's cost since they only last 20K miles. I didn't bother to ask him to look up the wear ratings. I just walked out and went to the Discount Tire.
