    Most times yes, but not always regarding the stock tires. If you get a base model, then definitely the tires are the cheapest round things there are from the factory.

    I got 75-80K out of the OEM tires on my wifes Kia Sorento. I would have needed to replace them sooner, but the winter that I said that they needed to go before the next snowstorm was very quiet, so I got an extra year out of them. Kumho's I believe. They were never great tires, but they wore like iron.

    I'm lucky that the VA will take care of my eyes. But, seeing is something I want everyone to have. ( I have cousins that have a degenerative sight problem).

    If I'd been there, I'd have done the same thing!

    A good portion of my grandfather's family was struck with the tunnel vision disease that I can't remember. I wish I was able to help them all!

    Kia was great when they first came on the scene. My mom bought one back in probably 2005 or so. I have a picture somewhere of mom, dad and Mark Martin when they bought it. He was just starting his dealership after he retired. Mom's car was at 87k the last time she visited. She still had his personal phone number last time she was here, too.

    Kia has changed a lot in the last few years.

    Do you have any pictures of this? I don't think I have ever made Glass Candy.

    But on the other hand, some people are so poor all they have is money.

    Probably a regional term. The Lady's Auxiliary at the fire department use to sell it as glass candy years ago. Haven't seen it for sale in years.
    Nationwide the proper or familiar term would be Hard Tack.

    I bought a set of Khumos for my Highlander. They were advertised as like 60-70k mile tires. They lasted 15k maybe
    One year. I rotated them also once in that period. All were past wear strips. I will never buy Khumos again. I get better wear from the cheapest Chinese no name tire.

    Maybe this works. That's the cat that can be in my truck, but not allowed in the house because she stinks. It's not her fault, but she smells like your least offensive friend. I've shared a tent with ten guys out of a dozen that smelled worse. Yes, I still miss the army for some reason!

    I have eaten pralines, but never made any. Usually get them from the candy kitchen in Savannah.

    I'm probably going to replace this one with a new Telluride next year. Just want to pay the boat off first. I may push it another year depending on how this one is going. It loves to consume oil though.

    I believe they take care of my dads eyes as well. I've heard so many stories about how bad the VA is, but they have been nothing but great for my dad.

    Thank you, I ordered lithium.
    Dad: I gave away all my batteries free of charge
    Kid: Why?
    Dad : :rofl: :lol:
    How does the cat get in and out of your truck? What if she needs to do her business? Batteries are for a stray (yep, she is fixed), we made an insulated box for her with door that will only open for her microchip. Sorry that poor kitty is stinky, ear yeast infections, skin yeast infections and also giving many cats milk can make them stinky, atleast those are what I saw as a vet asst.

    Sounds like new tires is a good plan - I'm sure Mrs. Ole really appreciates your help!
