Here's the scenario....
Mom's car, older driver, now only uses the car locally since my dad passed away to go shopping, run errands, low speed 30-40ish in town driving. Maybe drives 100 miles a month, mint '93 Buick Regal.
Tires were premium BF Goodrich installed in 10/2000 and have about 30k miles on them. Car is always garaged, very little sun exposure.
The tires look absolutly mint, with no cracking whatsoever, almost never need air etc. Car seems to ride and handle just fine when I drive it.
Should I keep the old, premium tires, or buy Mom a set of new, cheapo tires? With some recent job cutbacks on my side, money, while not a crisis, could be used for other repairs on mom's house if not used on tires.
