Need new front tires..........suggestions? Okay, so my fronts are totally shot, the inside of both tires are showing cords 
so I need tires asap. From what I've seen online, the price for 275's and 255's are pretty much the same, should I step up to the 275? I'm going to check around tomorrow and hopefully find a shop that wont rape me. I have a feeling I'm going to be at the mercy of the closest shop that has something in stock. I already know that my local National Tire and Battery doesnt have anything in stock 
Anything that I should stay away from? I'm running Bridgestone Potenza RE050a's right now, and I'd like to find something that's similar in tread design, suggestions? Like I said before, I'm probably going to be at the mercy of the local shops, but if no one has anything tomorrow I'll just order online.

Well, the only place that has anything in stock is ~30min away and they're 280 bucks a pop (potenza re040's). Looks like I'm ordering online...............pray that my tires dont pop in the meantime!!!!

I'm seriously considering a set of used Bridgestones to match the rears, I found a set for basically $265 shipped. They have 8.5/32 tread life left, and supposedly no patches or repairs. I want to step up 275's but dont have the funds to get a matching set of four (cant stand the thought of having mismatched tires, although it might come to that). Thoughts on buying used???
