Said I had some howl and wobble at highway speed. They called and told me I had some slipped belts. Not sure if just one tire or all 4 were ready to blow but they threw on 4 new tires free of cost.

*note- I change the oil on my own vehicle but work pays for this one's to be done. They won't let me do the maintenance and reimburse me.

"Some" slipped belts? Jesus. Never heard of Primewell tires.

"Super econo but really fun in the snow and easy to get stuck in the mud" is the best I can describe them as.

Now, the important question is whether the fun in snow is "I need some new brown pants when I get home" or "lets go do some doughnuts in the parking lot" kind?

Its definitely a lot of both. Unfortunately since its FWD my fun consists of more drifting than donuts. Although ABS on ice is pretty entertaining too.

You went to a Firestone? How many miles were there on the 710's? Primewells are decent dd tires.

I have to use my WEX card and firestone is the only place nearby. Drive there, drop it off, walk back, easy day.

I want to say they went on in decemeber and it's been about 8-9k miles since then

less than 10k miles and tread already down to 12/32? Those sound like the worst tires ever.
