I'm kinda thinking that if I buy decent tires (the ones I'd buy if keeping the car), then I "loose" less than what some buyer may want off for tires. The 4 mounted, balanced, out the door, etc., are going to run about $650.

Related question: if I buy the tires, do I buy the $15 ea hazard warranties figuring this adds value to the car, or pass?

Thanks for any help from the knowledgeable!

New tires may seal the deal, but will add no value to the price of the car. I would skip the hazard warranties...they are bogus anyway.
