New rear tire or both new tires?

I often tell the story of my dad, in the late '50s and early '60s, sending me to the corner store with 50 cents to get him 2 packs of Luckies (45 cents) and letting me get a candy bar with the nickel change.

When I quit smoking in '73 cigarettes in New York were still about 25 cents a pack, and a carton was about $2.25.

Now I see the US average is about $7 a pack, with NY over $12.00! a pack. If my *health* hadn't been an incentive then, my *pocketbook* would certainly be an incentive today...
