Is there anything to look forward with what I have?

Not to mention the fact that the engine makes ~10% more HP at those temperatures.

Grip with my old tires even when they were bald, was MUCH better. When I wear these out, I'll be going back to something expensive. It's totally worth it.

You need to save up some money and buy some high quality tires, or your car is never going to have traction.

Yah those tires are plain garbage, and dangerous! I had them on my car once... was going around a bend, hit the gas about half way through the bend...
car went sideways, backwards, and then turned right into a light pole...

Get rid of them before you mess up like I did...
