So we went to town fair tire today to buy new sneakers for my wife's wagon. She had a price on some Kuhmos that she liked. Just so happens there were none in stock to price match. BUT they had some Nankangs,not what we wanted,but they were $99 each.She doesn't drive the car all that hard,so we figured,hey,$400 is great! Free mounting,free front end alignment...all that crap that they advertise. So when the sales guy gave us the final price,it was $590! We walked out. Then really got thinking. Went back in. Asked about the $200 difference. Turns out they charge $15 A TIRE FOR BALANCING!!!! What a CROC!!!! Plus a bunch of other hidden fees ($3 a pop for valve stems,plus somewhere else they were getting another $128). So we walked out again. If I cant find a set of like new tires this weekend,we will get some at the garage beside her work. I thought that place was a good deal. Ill never set foot in there again. Im all done supporting these damn national chains. There was an old woman in there,questioning on why her tires cost $175 more than she was told,they explained her fees and she just nodded and agreed,and sat down to wait again. Im going to buy a rim clamp machine,and a spin balancer soon. The way I see it,I should make my first million by next February.........
