So buy a new set or talk the dealer into it (they should have inspected them on a CPO car one would think - they did sell you an unsafe car) and then get a hazard insurance policy for them that if one goes bad, you get at least pro-rated value of all 4.
As noted in another post, get go-flats and a compressor and some sealant.
Read up on online reviews before you buy, from sources such as Consumer Reports, Tire Rack and Discount Tire (a.k.a. America's Tire). Ignore Amazon reviews and others that get high ratings in search engine results - they are merely opinion pieces. That's my opinion, anyway. 
I'm dubious that misalignment was a primary issue but no harm in having it checked. |
Thanks Oilverland.
My CPO warranty just ran out, therefore I'm on my own.
I have ordered a new set of non-flat
CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06,
I will get the alignment completed on install.
