Tires

I hope when you guys get to be my age that you won't have to come up with this idea: I have been shopping around for tires since I am driving around on tires-turned-ice-skates. The problem is new tires cost at least $400 and we don't have $400 (that's the part that I hope the rest of you don't have to worry about at my age). So I went to Wal-Mart to get a quote and Larry (with baseball cap he has been wearing for at least 20 years, which I think was the last time he had a haircut) said he had one tire at $20 and another at $30. I looked over at the odds n ends tires and saw those two tires sitting there; I couldn't take my eyes off of them: $20!! So Larry, do you recommend I buy those tires? No I don't.

Last night I got the bright idea to call around to other tire stores and find two more misfits. Does anyone think that is a bad idea? Does Larry really know what he is talking about? If each tire has different traction properties wouldn't that be a good thing?
