Long shot but I'll try here first
What's up guys... I need advice on a couple things as to not get completley shafted, and to not be ignorant.
1. The time has come for new tires on my Stang. I do not race it, and I just want something that will perform well for my basic needs. I am looking for something in the $150 range per tire. (Is that a reasonable price?) I'm not trying to get radials obviously, so that is where I'm at. I'm going to ask my "mustang" friends of course, but if you have any suggestions I would much appreciate it.
2. I have come into the possession of an 88 Jeep Cherokee for weekend/beach use. I love it. However, it did not love inspection and failed due to bad rear brakes and a faulty seatbelt. The previous owner (*cough* my brother *cough*) just let it go in that regard, not a huge deal. My question is, I've been told that replacing a seatbelt is an easy fix and there's no reason I can't do it with some help. This is probably a dumb question, but can't I just go to U wrench it or something and get a seatbelt? Or do I need to buy a brand new one. If so? Where do you suggest?
Flame if you want, I don't give a fuck. I've never had to do this stuff myself so I might as well ask and learn now rather than look like an idiot in a store or at a shop or something. So, holler with some suggestions/tips, many thanks fuckers.

Re: Long shot but I'll try here first
get something at least in the 400's on the UTQG rating, if your not gonna be racing. this is basically a rating on how many miles u can expect to get out of the tire. I drive 100 miles a day. I am on my second set of these BFG's 91 mr2 na.
check these out, just a suggestion:

I need a seatbelt for an 88 Jeep Cherokee driver seat. The others are burgundy/maroon that match the car, but I don't really care if it matches. If you can help with that you would rule.
Stock 17 inch tires, the ones that came with the car, are on right now.
