The wear pattern was so bad that I had metal showing on the inside sidewall.

I lucked out with my car a little bit. I'm getting a bunch of work done, including getting my heat fixed which hasn't worked for over a year (that 45 minute drive to work in the winter was a real bitch), but my dad just built the shop owner's son's house so they're giving me a good deal on the work. I was going to have all 4 tires replaced but they were cool enough to tell me that the back ones are fine and that I only really need 2 new ones. Luckily the shop realizes that my dad and I have a big family in the area and that good customer service will go a long way.
