Just Tires
A new tire chain has begun massive advertising here in central NC. Just Tires -- "Tires in 30 minutes or less." When one ad specifically touted their stocking of rare & hard-to-find tires you know I just had to make 'em prove it!
So stopped in at one of the bigger ones. What did I get for my 30 minutes? That he had never heard of a tire in the Westy OE sizes (185R14r or 205/70R14r) and couldn't find one of the acceptable substitutes such as 195/75R14D or other D load range in his books or computer. He even called his headquarters. Finally, after I gave him several known tires that were suitable, he said he could get the Bridgestone V603's in 4 days for a price only about 15% higher than my regular dealer.
Just Tires? And maybe a lot of BS!
