there are a couple nice suv's that didnt pass the safety test for US.

but i really dont get why people get nice cars, its gonna get beat up cuz of the roads and stuff.. you cant even go pass 30mph out here because of the traffic.

there are like crazy people randomly crossing the street, cars cutting your off, and tricycles and sidecars and stuff.. hahah
i can imagine

I just checked Costco and found they carry a great tire for the tC;
http://tires.costco.com/TSSapp/TireD...tml?cid=377526
If the price seems high compared to other places, it may be because that includes mount/balance and all the related stuff other places effectively hide when advertising their tire prices. Getting those tires from Costco, it looks like both you and your parents would be pleased.

*EDIT: Looks like blasted Costco changed it so that link doesn't work any more. I'd found they carry the BFG g-Force Sport, which is what I'd suggest if it fits one's budget.
