(I do, however, think the nitrogen they used, and charged me for, is a scam. The air is mostly N2 anyway.)

That's ridiculous that a chain tire place varied so much by location.

One bright side - while I was at the tire place, some guy was there getting work done to his Ferrari 612, flat black. I had never seen one before; very cool!
that price I quoted was shipped. MT balance would have been $15 or so.

Like I said they always take you for a ride when buying one tire. on that rear end insurance job they wanted to just kill me on the price. I had a a day two so I was able to just go to the less schwab I bougtht the tires from originally and they gave the 4 tire price on one. I wanted to choke the guy out that quoted me $450 a tire. I am looking at my orginal reciept at $238 going????

sometimes you just need it now and have to pay it.
