Oh yah, I didn't do "the deal" this guy offered...no, not me! I thought..."maybe there is something wrong with that set of tires, I am gonna get NEW ones for full price (about $90 a tire, if I recall right) just in case they (the "special deal, just for you tires the counterman offered me) might have some defect I couldn't see... Perhaps I screwed up by choosing those tires...Shoulda took the deal, that way I'd a screwed-up 1/3 less...Ya gotta love a deal...not. Don Hanson |
