Tire Prices & Veterans Day Sales

If you can't spend time looking around or ordering online what are you wasting your limited time here for?

As far as your $30 tax for each tire and Calif fees -- did you vote yesterday?

Wonder if it is legal for them to buy tires out of state ;)

Probably only if he pays the fees on entry to PRC.

Thanks, Robert. Sounds like you found a good one. I've seen a couple of those around here and will check them out in the morning.

Heck yeah, Mexico ain't that far. Local prices are OK -- I'm looking for a new store opening or some place giving 2 for 1 just to get people in the door.

I'm not looking for cheap tires -- just checking for specials. The bad tire is typical Chinese crap. Hankook, or something like that. Don't remember the rating - probably 40K. Now after 20K miles the tread is nearly gone. This leak is a good reason to get rid of both of them.

Interesting - I was looking for the specs on the side of the tires, and they say "Made in USA". Sounds like monkey business to me.

This time I have a leak and can't spend too much time looking around or ordering online.

Thanks, fellers!
