Thanks!!

Just picked up the car from the shop, I ran over a nail and didn't know it, the head of the nail broke off so I couldn't see it.. Timing was good it was time for snow tires anyway..

The tread on that tire looks pretty worn. Luckily nobody got hurt.

Those look like Bridgestone Potenzas, but I'm not sure which model.
