<human>: I know my tires were shit. I was ready to get new ones, but was lazy about it because well, they are damn expensive. Normally I buy used for $30 a piece, and had some miss-matched oldies that had to go. I had one good tire on the car.

So I've been putting the tires off, but plan a short trip overnight to a town a few hours away. last trip, then I'm going to find a good deal on tires and get this done before winter. Everything is going good. 

I'm on my way home with a light drizzel. I am on my way strait in to work. No big deal. Half hour from home, the rain starts coming down as I am on the expressway, approx 70 mph. I can feel my back end hydroplaning, sliding all around and getting very fish tail like. I DO NOT CRASH.

I'm scared shit less in the rain with cars and semis going by me. I pull off the shoulder. everything looks OK, less the bald tires. I pull out get to the right lane, and drive slow 50 mph with hazzards on. Better, but still not good. Still very scary.

I have to get off the freeway, and get off to a side street I can still take home. Better, but still getting scary and sloppy in the rear end.

I'm really scared, freaking out, and this is just a personal safety issue that I can not ignore. I pull into a GoodYear shop, and agree to drop $600+ because I couldn't take the time to shop a good deal.

I have no back up at work, several hours late, need to get there and get shit done.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Almost spun out on bad tires, not safe to drive at all, cost a shitload. Do not do this.
