The IROC started driving a bit weird across the Walt Whitman. Nothing too strange, but as soon as I made it to I95 I heard the thump thump sound no one wants to hear. Yup, right front tire. I managed to change the spare on (and fill it with the CO2 bottle provided). I limped to my local tire place back home who said because of severe cracking I really need 4.

The car is now in my driveway and I'll be driving the "daily driver".

Do any of you have recommendations for good, reliable tires? I do *not* take the car to the track and I drive it like I own it. Car is setup as a "cruiser". I don't need the top of the line but not the el-cheap-o's either. Something good in the rain that I can use when driving the car to and from work.
