New tires on the blue car

Today, I did a bit of shopping during lunch and bought office supplies.  How exciting!  The largest thing I purchased was one of those plastic floor mats because my home office chair is slowly grinding into my hardwood floor.  After work, I finally got new front tires.  The old ones were bald, and I would probably be found dead on the side of the road the next time the rain came.  The tire folks checked my suspension and it was fine (Yeah!), but my breaks are just about at their limit, so I guess I’ll need to replace them myself or pay someone to do it.  The new tires are on the pricy side (top of the line Michelin 80K mile tires), but they are so smooth!  This is the first time in 16 years that I’ve had decent steering capabilities.  And here I assumed all this time that my car was just made that way.  Nope, it was the tires I have chosen.
