In my best East Texas lingo, “I gotta git sum tars for my peekup.” Buying “tars” (tires) is a lot like trying to buy a mattress. There are a million brands and models, plus tires have lots of numbers to compare. You have to check the speed rating, heat rating, load rating, treadwear, traction, and UTQG - whatever that means. A good place to start is the tire size and when it was manufactured. You don’t want to get the wrong size and a dry rot tire.
Everybody and anybody that sells tires like to shout they will beat anyone’s price. The trick is you must compare prices on two “exact tires” and that would take an eternity to shop around for prices.
Once you decide upon a tire, and a price, you have to start adding additional charges. It cost extra for air in the tires, putting them on your vehicle and stuff like that.
The only positive about buying tires is that it takes your mind off politics. Or, maybe it doesn’t.
I’ll vote for whomever gets me free tires.
