Default Need advice- Does God want me to get new wheels & tires?

It started earlier this week. Monday evening as I'm leaving my girlfriend's house for my hour drive to my apartment. The driver's front goes completely flat...changing into the spare is a b1tch b/c the hub is rusted.

So since Monday I have been running around with the deflated Pirelli P6000 in my trunk until I have time to take it to a tire shop to see if it can be plugged/patched. Tonight, as I'm driving back up to Indy....thud, followed by a weird noise on passenger rear. Ugh!!

So, is this the divine hand telling me the P6000's with 23K miles (don't know how previous owner drove on them) are no longer adequate? Should I expect them to be ready to quit at this point?

If HE really wants me to indulge myself in new wheels, should I get 18 or 19's? My final choices would be SSR GT1 or Moda R6. I am leaning toward the Modas despite the weight b/c it seems like a lot of people have had problems with their SSR's cracking.

Please help me in helping His mission with this most holy of automobiles.

Default Pretty sure it was Divine intervention...allowing me to spend cash on wheels and tires even though..

I'm trying to budget. He works in mysterious ways, don't you know.

Seriously. I was just a weird week.
