"Rebuilts" -- the only way to go.  Too much waste today.  I drive tires
until the cord comes off, and drove on the sidewall sometimes.  Never buy
new, just used ones.  Don't even buy, just find  em in the fields and
places laying around.  Different brands, different sizes, it doesnt
matter.  Bunch a bull.  As long as there's rubber, you're fine.  New tires,
I can't imagine spending that kind of money.

Don't throw away those old rusty steel rims either. When the tires finally
fall off and there's nothing left but sidewall, I drive on the steel
rims.  They last pretty long really.  Make a cool sound like a train
too!  Wicked awesome . .  .  And people stay the heck away from you because
all of the sparks flying everywhere. But semi-trailer mudflaps help if
you're that concerned about showing off and attracting too much attention.

know why?  These Volkswagens, man, they take too much maintenance!
