People and their cheap *ss steak knives...
Well I pulled into the drive way and hear a crazy loud hissing noise. I get out and see the back end of my car slowly sinking... here's the culprit
This chunk of cheap steak knife was buried completely in up to the last 1/8" that was sticking out.
Any suggestions on what to get for new tires. Its about time I got a new set of all seasons.

I think I will go with the Yokohama Avid V4s, they seem to have good reviews on here and aren't the most expensive but aren't the cheapest. I figure I should replace all four tires at once. Most look pretty shabby but not totally worn.

I went with the Fuzion ZRi, I believe its one of the best tires for the price, it's very similiar to the high end Bridgestone RE750 tire, having both tires come from Bridgestone. And not to mention it was super cheap because I work at Wheel Works.

I don't have the Avids on my CL but I've had them in the past and IMHO I think they're the best over all all season for the money.

Toyo Proxes 4 maybe? I'm pretty happy with them so far.

I ended up with the AS430 since Town Fair Tire had those for a better price then the h4/v4 and the road hazzard policy was cheaper too ($6 a tire IIRC). They are pretty good in the snow, and ok in the rain and dry. They are a little noisy on some types of pavement (like the OEM's were).
I like town fair since they do free rotations and tire repairs for the life of the tires. I've gotten one flat fixed (screw in the tire) and a free rotation already...
