Just got the call that my tires are ready. After the cruise this morning, I'll go get them mounted and then head over to NTB for an alignment. My quandary is this: I have incredibly bald tires (down to the wear bars) and was planning on taking the cruise easy just to be on the safe side - now that I know my tires are ready, should I push it and roast the $hit out of them on the curves?

No, I'm gonna be tight on time as it is now that I have to squeeze in tire mounting at Discount and an alignment at NTB. Plus I want to run that other road with brand new tires

And therein lies the problem. Plus there's absolutely zero shoulder on this road, and in a lot of places its either 6-12" steep sloped drop off or tree-line. Not much room for mistakes, so I'll probably just push a little. Plus Ms. Pint doesn't push her car on the curves and I just found out it's only gonna be me and her cruising after our third Z just bailed Whatever, it's still
