Tires

As it happens, my dealership service department is arguing to my today that I should replace effectively every other part in my car that lay underneath the hood. As an aside, he tells me "oh, and you need new tires. If you want us to replace them, they're about $65 each."
Which reminded me of this recent story re: Justice Thomas' gifts:
- WASHINGTON -- Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has accepted tens of thousands of dollars worth of gifts since joining the high court, including $1,200 worth of tires, valuable historical items and a $5,000 personal check to help pay a relative's education expenses.
$1200 for tires?? WTF?
