The search is on for 235/70/16 tires. I need four of them. I am looking for used ones that are in good condition. I have called 4 places so far and they have no used ones...well one place had 3 used ones and only 2 were in good condition. All of the places are happy to sell me new ones, for $100 a piece. UGGGG!!! I am in such desperate need of tires. My parents told me last week that they would buy me two tires. I initally refused their offer. I hate accepting stuff from them anymore! But my mom played the mom card and told me that they were getting them because I cart their grand-daughter around so much after dark that they don't want me(and her) stuck on the side of the road somewhere. But come to find out that you can't put just two tires on a 4 wheel drive vehicle...according to my DH. I am not sure about that, but am willing to go with it because honestly, I don't know which two of the tires that are on the truck right now could be kept! So we are looking at $400 for a set of tires! Double UGGGGG!!! I have been in contact with my mom letting her know all of this. She said that she is going to talk to my dad tonight to see what he thinks. I could pay for the other two tires on Friday, but then that would make the next pay period hell...like not even able to make my debts! So I am not sure what to do.
And I have been so slammed at work! We have a conference coming up in November that I am in charge of planning. Getting the materials and making arrangements and dinner reservations and....I am losing my mind!! I have screwed up two things this week...not having enough books to send next week and not sending the cd's off in time to have them copied for next week. These don't sound like huge things, but to my boss, they are.

You an also inquire if your parents would be willing to purchase two NEW tires and call it an early Christmas present.
Don't get caught on the side of the road. I have been there. Use credit and get those wheels. God bless.
