My car is finally safe to drive...
I had the tires (all four) replaced with
Kumho[0] Ecsta ASX.
I replaced[1] the brake pads with
Hawk HPS. The front pads were pretty much gone and the backs were maybe 50%. The rotors looked pretty OK[2].
So, yes, now my car should be safe to drive again...
(
Also, it is shiny and clean... )
