Explain, the wear bar on this tire was about the size of the "coin test" typically used to check tread wear.
There was no way for the guy to know the age or mileage use of the tires and they were in fine shape. They were Yokohama Geolandar G91s which don't have a mileage warranty.
Seems like tire prices fluctuate constantly - is there a cheap month or part of a month to buy a tire?
Black Friday sales are always really good at DT
Stupid fucking memers
>Hurr we need to put new tires on the back so your FWD car doesn't oversteer
>Free tire rotations unless you want your back tires on the front, which we don't do because muh oversteer
Die in hell Discount Tire. The front wheels wear out faster but nobody will put the tires with the most tread on the front.
What the fuck
We don't charge for rotations. If you want new tires on the front, we do it. We just suggest doing otherwise.
No offense, but I'd rather just go to costco for tires. I wait while they put it on and eat a chicken bake with a berry smoothie.
The price of rubber and steel throw the prices of tires around like Cletus throws his wife after a night of heavy drinking.
dumb question
my tires look underinflated when cold, "just right" when warm. They are inflated to my truck's specs
should I add some air?
It's to prevent lift-off oversteer if the rear end looses grip.
I suggest the same at my shop. No one listens or considers the physics. I'd rather be stuck and unable to move, than have the back end walk out on an ice over-pass at 40mph.

>clerk looks at me in a weird way asks if I actually know how to mount and balance tires
>look him dead in the eyes and say yes I work in a shop and I'll bet you 100$ I can mount and balance them faster than any of these tire monkeys here

Some of the staff can be judgemental.
