I had considered another set of Bridgestones but the garage said a set of Firestones would be the better value at this point so I said lets go for it!

This is what they should look like, down to the identical color (minus the fancy rim).

Some of you guys collect guns. I don't collect anything. I'd like to collect guns but there are too many firearms regulations in Canada.

Don't tell anybody if you are only getting two. I don't want to have to wade through another 6 page thread on safe
tire mounting practices and theory. duh

Looks like a truck tire. Did you get a warranty?

SLUTs* should have much bigger rims, and the tyre should not be bigger than half an inch from the side, to give you that special look, and ride.

You should have got them in red.

Is it actually legal (if distasteful) to paint your tires?

Agreed, one of the questions for a PAL application is 'Have you recently been divorced or separated from your spouse?' I assume if you answer yes you will not qualify??????

Is it a full spare or one of those Go-To-Hell donuts?

I have a concealed go-to-hell donut! smile

Nice time for a PSA ...

Those little tires hidden away forever are pretty easy to forget about ... I think everyone should periodically check their go-to-hell donut's pressure so you don't end up having to change a flat tire only to find your spare is flat as well!

If your car has tire pressure sensors, the spare likely has one as well. smile

So you'll get a warning about 18 months after you get the car that the tire pressure is low, and then you'll experience the pain of trying to increase the pressure of a tire likely mounted some odd way in there.

Most new cars use nitrogen for the tires correct?

Air is 3/4 nitrogen anyway.
